This is a subtle raw 'linen' coloured cotton fabric from Olympus Thread Mfg. Co., excellent for sashiko, patchwork, bag making and other projects. Part of the Sakizome Momen range (colours are inspired by 'forests, herbs, flowers and earth' colours), it would make a subtle background for sashiko and mix well with fabrics for a boro inspired piece. This medium natural shade is perfect for all your Japanese taupe projects.

Please note, although this looks just like a raw, unbleached linen, the fabric is actually 100% cotton.

The weave is loose enough to easily stitch sashiko with fine, medium or thick sashiko threads. Ideal for wearables, boro style patchwork, 'French embroidery' (floral embroidery in the style of Japanese embroiderer Alice Makabe) or any project where a subtle naural shade would look good. The relatively low thread count means it is not suitable for detailed patchwor with very small pieces.
