For sashiko, embroidery, mending, and quilting, try the lovely 100% cotton sashiko threads from Olympus Japan. These soft, matte threads have more body than embroidery thread, so they're better for the single-line designs found in traditional sashiko. For the same reason, Olympus sashiko threads are a good choice for any ornamental stitching — the lines will be both bold and soft.
