We've restocked the "Sumiiro" (ink color) thread, which was out of stock! ------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a special embroidery thread for "kogin-zashi" (a type of Japanese embroidery). One skein: approximately 40 meters (about 10 grams), set of 5 skeins 1 skein = 350 yen It's the popular "Sumiiro" ((^^)) Because it's hand-dyed, it won't be jet black, but the blackness increases with each batch ((^^)) We consider Sumiiro to be an ink color, or charcoal color (^^ゞ It's dyed with eco-friendly dyes that are safe to touch the skin, so 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 slight color unevenness. But, This slightly subdued color is the essence of traditional Japanese colors, and the slight color variations will create handcrafted works that are perfect for traditional kogin-zashi. You can create simple and gentle works that cannot be expressed with commercially available threads that have no unevenness. In that respect, it's a completely different world from the vibrant colors of overseas embroidery. You're sure to create works that combine simplicity, gentleness, and enjoyment! I myself often use this color thread in my own works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ● Product Details: Kogin-zashi thread, cotton thread, 8-ply, One skein: approximately 40 meters (about 10 grams), set of 5 skeins 1 skein = 350 yen (tax included: free shipping) for a set of 5 skeins. ● The actual color may differ depending on your PC environment (smartphone environment).
