Now you can dye your own sashiko thread!
With Olympus' new thread dyeing system, you can simply draw on the thread with their developed markers and thus have good control over the process. You also don't need to boil water or similar. The dyes are mixed directly into special markers with water. Easy and fun to work with!
This thread is specially made for dyeing, so that it stays nice and is still easy to thread and sew with even after dyeing. It comes in two thicknesses, regular and thin. Each skein contains 3 hanks.
