Olympus Sashiko Lame, Multi Color Metallic Cotton Embroidery | 40M Skein | Japan Made | Hand Stitching

The best part of this embroidery thread is its delicate metallic shimmer. Olympus sashiko thread brings a soft, modern accent to traditional hand stitching, with the gentle feel of cotton and a light-catching finish that makes each stitch stand out. If you love a piece that balances classic technique with a little sparkle, this Japanese-made thread is designed to feel beautiful in sashiko, hitomezashi, kugurizashi, and fine embroidery work.

• Made in Japan by Olympus Thread, a trusted name in embroidery and sashiko supplies
• 96% cotton and 4% polyester metallic lamé for softness with a subtle shine
• 6-strand twisted thread, suitable for sashiko, hitomezashi, kugurizashi, quilting, hand stitching, weaving, and crochet
• Each skein is approximately 40 meters, or about 44 yards, and 1 skein is included unless you choose a set listing
• Care: hand wash gently in warm water with mild detergent, lay flat to dry, and iron from the back side with a pressing cloth

Choose your color from the dropdown menu, including classic shades like White, Ecru Natural, Cloud Gray, and Black, along with special options such as Aurora or rainbow shimmer, Gold-flecked White, and multi-tone dyed styles in Blue, Pink, Aqua, Dark Pink, and Black & White. Color may vary slightly depending on monitor settings, and because the thread has a metallic lamé finish, the look can shift beautifully as it catches the light while you stitch.

This thread works especially well for traditional sashiko patterns and also adds a refined highlight to modern embroidery and quilting projects. It is a thoughtful choice for bags, clothing, home décor, accessories, and handmade gifts when you want a touch of Japanese craftsmanship with a subtle metallic accent.
