The timeless Hanabishi motif combines the beauty of a stylised four-petalled flower with the elegance of a traditional geometric design.
Used in Japanese textiles and decorative arts for centuries, its balanced pattern is both relaxing to stitch and striking when complete. Pre-stencilled on traditional Japanese sarashi cotton, the printed markings disappear with the first wash, revealing your finished work. Practical, absorbent and wonderfully durable, this beautiful Hana Fukin placemat will soften with every use, bringing a touch of Japanese craftsmanship to your table.
The extensive range of single-coloured and variegated sashiko threads available enables you to create many unique colour and design variations which can be used simply as designed as a placemat or to create cushions, wall art, bags, quilts and garments.
