Fujix - Cotton Thread Hand Dyed with Persimmon - #1 Light Ash Gray Brown

Fujix makes the most beautiful threads, and here is a real treat. Hand dyed in persimmon tannin (kakishibu), a traditional Japanese technique that makes rich wood-toned hues, these 100% cotton threads are perfect for working with vintage indigo cottons.

Color #1 is a light ash-gray-brown. The last photo shows #1 at the bottom.

Each skein is 20 meters long, size #6. Sashiko thread is closer to size #8.
