Natural Plant Dyed Sashiko Threads
These are naturally plant dyed Sashiko threads. The yarns that I use for these kits are pure Egyptian cotton, or linen/bamboo blend threads. The yarns are all dyed using natural plant dyes.
These yarns are sold through my various On-Line Shops. If you are looking for specific colours, please check each shop as I list different items in each shop – to avoid Out-of-Stock issues. Please Contact me if you are looking for specific colours.
Sashiko Thread Packs
Each skein is approx. 20 meters in length
5 skeins of naturally plant dyed rainbow colours per pack.
The natural dyes are created using plants, leaves, flowers, tree barks and minerals that have been used and tested through the ages. Naturally dyed colours fade gently yet remain beautiful.
Some of the dye plants that I use to create the many shades of the rainbow are:
Reds: Madder root, Brazilwood, Cochineal
Yellows: Weld, Fustic, Dyers Greenwood, Flame of the ForestBlues: Indigo, Woad, Japanese Indigo
Purples and Greys: Alkanet, Logwood
I love to dye rainbows of colour using natural dye plants. These tapestry yarns are the results of my experiments. Natural dyes produce colours that are unique yet harmonious with each other. Not to be repeated. I hope that you will enjoy creating something new with the yarns as much as I have enjoyed making them.
I will be adding more naturally dyed yarns each week, so please check back for new plant dyed colours.
The naturally plant dyed Sashiko threads can also be ordered in larger skein sizes by custom order.
Please note that hand dyed yarns take up dye at different rates, so may have some colour variation throughout the skein, creating a unique look to the yarn. Some natural dye residue such as Indigo may rub off onto your hands.
