This is a special embroidery thread for "kogin-zashi" (a type of Japanese folk embroidery). It's a standard color, a shade between sky blue and blue. We've gathered quite a variety of blue variations, so we'll introduce them with photos. We also have dark navy and popular gray-blue, among others ((^^)) Dyed with eco-friendly dyes that are safe to touch the skin, it doesn't have the uniform, overly vibrant finish of commercially available embroidery threads. At first glance, you might be concerned about the soft dyeing and subtle color unevenness. But, this slightly muted color is the essence of traditional Japanese colors, and the slight color unevenness creates a handcrafted feel that is perfect for traditional kogin-zashi. It will create simple and gentle works that cannot be expressed with commercially available threads that lack unevenness. In that respect, it's a completely different world from the vibrant colors of overseas embroidery. It's sure to create works that combine simplicity, gentleness, and enjoyment! This is a color thread that I myself often use in my own works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ● Product Details: Kogin-zashi Thread, Cotton Thread, 8-ply, 1 skein: Approximately 40 meters (approximately 10 grams), set of 5 skeins 1 skein = 350 yen (tax included: free shipping), set of 5 skeins. ● Colors may differ from the actual product depending on your PC environment (smartphone environment).
