【Story】
Ever since we started a business as "Upcycle Stitches", it is our sincere pleasure to share the Natural Dye Sashiko thread dyed by Keiko Futatsuya (Sash.Co). After many years of experience & "try & errors", she decided to apply a minor change in her Natural Dye Sashiko Thread in 2020. The new Natural Dye Sashiko Thread (We name it "2020 Collection") will have a little bit "matte" look in comparison to the previous Natural Dye Sashiko Thread, which will be discontinued after the stocks runs out in the U.S. / Japan.
Keiko tries her best to reproduce the same color - and the results are very successful with similar color, more matte & less shinny. Although she doesn't talk much about the reasons of this minor change, I assume it is due to her recent work with many Japanese vintage fabrics. After all, she dyes the Sashiko threads for her own work first, then I ask her to sell us so we can distribute to the world.
We have 18 Colors ready (1 color - #023m - is in pending).
In order to avoid unnecessary confusion, we have not changed the color numbering and the natural dyes that Keiko uses. The exactly same, but the number has "m" at the the end. Also, when you see letters such as "D" and "L", it means it is either Lighter or Darker in comparison to the previous/regular colors. Please be advised that they are all hand dyed with Natural dyes in a small pot. Therefore, each batch "may" result in slightly different color. Please enjoy the "one-of-a-kind" colors from each batches.
If you would like to have the exact same color, getting the same number from the same batch is the best choice. Please contact me for the details so I can work on for you. Each batch will have 5 ~ 12 skeins (Please let me know if you would like to order more than 15 skeins at once. It will be order to be made thread. The same price, but the delivery will take a lot longer).
We aren't just a Japanese craft supplier. We are a team of Sashiko professionals with more than 30 years of experience in Sashiko field. What we sell is what we use in our artworks. When we decide to not to use, it is the time to stop selling here.
We also strive for excellence in customer service. It is simply because we are happy to share what we are proud of, "Sashiko". Customers who purchase our products is a fan of Sashiko. We are happy to get to know you. We will answer questions regarding Sashiko from customers.
