The "Short Pitch" Variegated series of Olympus Sashiko thread offers a quicker transition between colors with the shade variations occurring every 2-4 cm. This is ideal for smaller scale projects or projects where you would like add greater depth of color.

while I like the color and effect that the variegation brings to my project, the quality of the thread itself is not as high as the Cosmo or some other brands thread. This thread seem more 'dry' than others, and it does not slide thru the fabric as easily, and it tends to knot up when pulling it thru the project, making it less enjoyable than others. He color, however, is great!
