This lamé sashiko thread by the Japanese brand Olympus is composed of 96% cotton. The base is a proven cotton thread, enhanced with a fine gold filament that adds an elegant sheen. Olympus is a highly respected brand in Japan, known for producing fabrics, threads, and tools for both traditional and contemporary sashiko techniques.
Sashiko is a traditional needlework technique from Japan that was originally intended to reinforce fabric. Over time it evolved into a form of minimalist embroidery characterized by strong, geometric patterns. Traditionally, sashiko is done on indigo-dyed blue fabric with a special cotton thread that is much thicker than ordinary sewing thread. Originally, white or red thread was used, but other colors have recently gained popularity, particularly pastels. Made up of several thinner filaments, at first glance sashiko thread resembles crochet thread or embroidery floss but it is fundamentally different; both crochet thread and embroidery floss are twisted more tightly and floss is both glossier and less sturdy. Naturally, you can try your hand at sashiko using any kind of thread, but for the right effect and an authentic look we recommend using sashiko thread.
To work with this thread, you’ll need a sashiko needle or at least a fairly big needle with a large eye. Sashiko needles are longer and stronger, and sewing with them is much easier.
For needlework on cotton fabric, wash according to the instructions for the given fabric. When washing indigo-dyed fabric take into account that the color will bleed dying white thread a light blue. In traditional sashiko this effect is considered desirable.
Most of our fabrics are one-time offers that last until they are sold out. However, some more popular items are always restocked or can be ordered on request. As a rule, this applies to notions, where the selection is pretty consistent, but may also include some types of fabric. Look at the product's availability value – it shows whether the goods are available while supplies last, in the core inventory or in a seasonal collection.
The goods in the seasonal collection come directly from our verified manufacturers. We change up the colors on offer from season to season but fabric quality is always constant. For large (wholesale) orders, colors that have been sold out can be reordered individually.
No. We only accept retail orders through the e-shop. This eliminates situations where someone else orders the last of an item while your order is still sitting in our inbox or lies jotted on a bit of paper by the phone. By purchasing online, you are putting an immediate hold on the product. Of course, you can always call or write to us if you need help making your selection.

It is calculated as the time for processing and packing your order plus the time it takes the selected carrier to deliver to a specific destination – this can be from 2 days for delivery within the Czech Republic to a week for delivery outside the EU. Expect longer delivery times during big sales and holidays.
