Key Characteristics & Conscious Use:

Feature Application and Intent  Comparison (6-Strand Sashiko)
Thread Structure: Perlé The two plies are tightly twisted, giving the thread a signature luster and strength. This non-divisible structure ensures clean, uniform stitching without splitting. Unlike a matte finish, this thread reflects light, bringing a distinct sheen and visual refinement to your work.
Weight: No. 5 This is a finer, less voluminous thread than the standard 6-strand sashiko. It is best used for patterns that require precision, such as detailed geometric motifs or smaller-scale visible mending. Due to its lower bulk, it integrates more smoothly into lighter-weight fabrics, helping the final textile maintain a soft hand and natural drape.
High Yardage (77 yards) The generous yardage in a single ball minimizes the need for knots and joins, allowing for long, continuous stretches of thoughtful stitching. Offers significant length for large motifs or continuous borders.
