I’m using the blue-variegated Aizenkobo sashiko thread, and it’s lovely to see the shifting colors.

We've been waiting years for thread, and it was worth the wait because they are GORGEOUS! Made from gardenia in not just one but three shades of delicious green.🌲🐢🍏 #BuildYourStash

The charm of both threads is that they are hand-dyed in small batches — using botanical dyes like cherry blossoms, alder, rose, madder, chestnut, mulberry, and indigo — resulting in soft gradations of color that are unique to each skein. 🤤 🤤 🤤

They dye all their sashiko thread, by hand, themselves- among other handmade textiles in old indigo vats located at the back of their small atelier in Kyoto. As you can imagine, everything is in small batches and I have no idea when I’ll be able to get more, but for now I have a few sets of these gorgeous threads available on my website. Sold as 4 skeins of 150m in varying shades of indigo, I promise you will audibly gasp once they’re in your hands. I also just got in some great needles and other Japanese sewing supplies #sashiko #indigo #indigosashiko #handatextiles #aizenkobo #japanesequilting #japaneseembroidery

In Kyoto, we stopped in a little shop called Aizenkobo. There was a group of men sitting around, but when we came in, they asked us if we'd like to see a demonstration (or at least I thought that was what they asked), and of course, I said yes. They got busy, dunking and dipping and twisting fabric in massive indigo dye pots. It was just wonderful, right up until they selected seven pieces of fabric for us, folded them into a little bag, and handed it to us with a bill for I think about $100 US. I was mortified, but I figured I must have agreed to it, so we paid. Those gorgeous indigo pieces sat in the bag, in my cabinet, for 30 years, until I became an empty nester and got up the courage to use them!

The seven pieces are in the two top rows, plus the center piece in the bottom row. In the bottom row, to the left, is a blue-and-white flower fabric that I don't even think is Japanese; on the far right bottom, a pair of Japanese farmers pants that I had heavily used and loved.

The red border prints include:

- Small floral motif, rescued by a friend from the town dump on the Japanese island of Hachijojima;

- A polyester kimono, with a bright red print - when I took it apart, I found a much older red kimono, with a softly colored print inside.

There's also fabric from other Japanese garments, including a yukata and several hapi-style jackets. The sashing is from a made-in-Japan dress that my Mom wore. The cranes flying across the top are from a three panel door curtain ("noren"), and the strip above that was a jacket. So along with being a wonderful memory quilt for me, this is also an upcycled quilt!

I think it needs to be a breezy, tiered dress. Searching for that perfect pattern
