I am working on Olympus Sashiko fabric with Odoriya Sashiko Thread. Odoriya is a Sashiko and Fabric shop in Hida Takayama. The thin thread makes a sharper line.
I bought some gradation threads a few month ago from Odoriya online. The colours are very beautiful and more vivid than I thought. It is interesting to see patterns showing different impressions with different threads.
The skeins are quite long, the thin thread has about 370 metres, and the thick one has about 185 metres. They are approx 40 grams each. You need to roll skeins like yarn balls. I used my knees to roll them, it was fun and funny. I am sure there is more elegant ways to roll.
Odoriya has a lot of colour variations and some gradations range. The beautiful colours remind me of Japanese flavour. I used their online shop but I would love to visit the store in Hida Takayama which is famous for the old style streets and Hida beef.
