Azumino-momen
Azumino-momen fabrics are piece-dyed in the azumino district of Japan (momen means cotton). Before they are placed in a small pot for dying the fabrics go through a process to create a natural wrinkle finish. Azumino-momen is ideal for sashiko, embroidery, garments, quilts and bags.

Sarashi muslin
Sarashi muslin is a soft, lightweight muslin made from 100% cotton. It is the same fabric that our sashiko samplers (hana fukin) are printed on, so it is perfect for backing hana fukin or making your own.
