Needlework to enjoy the aging of indigo. The charm of sashiko thread.


Stitch by stitch,
the repetition of threading the fabric with threadprovides a small moment of respite in the quiet of everyday life.

At THE TERROIR, we offer“indigo-dyed sashiko thread” so that you can incorporate the beauty of indigo grown from the earth into your everyday items.

This time, we would like to introduce the appeal of“20/6 (medium-thick)” sashiko thread, which allows you to fully enjoy the presence of each stitch among many types of thread,and suggest some recommended ways to use it.

A distinctive 6-ply construction. The appeal of sturdy “medium-thick” thread

This sashiko thread isa slightly thicker “20/6 (medium-thick)” specification made by twisting together six 100% cotton threads.Unlike the delicate expressions created with fine thread,the plump, three-dimensional quality of each stitch stands out clearly on the fabric.

  • Material: 100% cotton
  • Thickness: 20/6 (medium-thick, 6-ply)
  • Thread length: 40m

The indigo dye takes well,and the thread is both supple and strong.
It glides smoothly over the fabric,allowing you to move the needle with a steady rhythm.

This slightly thicker thread isideal for “large-pattern sashiko” with straight lines that make the most of the thread’s own strength,rather than intricate curves.

Cultivated over time.

A new story begins the moment you thread this thread through a favorite garment worn thin or an everyday item. Please welcome the natural indigo color into your home as a companion for long autumn evenings or quiet days of needlework.
