Soft, matte threads designed for traditional Kogin embroidery.
This 11-colour thread set offers exceptional value and is perfectly suited for Kogin-zashi, a form of sashiko embroidery that originated in the Tsugaru region of Aomori Prefecture during the Edo period. Developed to reinforce and insulate garments, Kogin has become a beloved decorative stitching technique known for its intricate geometric patterns.
These 100% cotton threads are specially spun with just the right twist and density to create plump, beautiful stitches when used with Kogin cloth (sold separately). The matte finish gives your embroidery a traditional, handwoven look, making your work feel both authentic and warm.
