Sashiko is Japanese hand-stitching rooted in the mending traditions of rural Edo-period Japan, worked in running stitch with heavy cotton thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Thread\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thread is six strands of cotton twisted together into one thread, with a matte finish.
