The graceful Hishi Arare pattern combines traditional diamond motifs with delicate "hailstone" details to create a design of timeless Japanese elegance.
Inspired by the water chestnut leaf, the hishi motif has long symbolised growth and prosperity, while the repeating geometric pattern offers a wonderfully relaxing stitching experience.
Pre-stencilled on traditional Japanese sarashi cotton, the guide markings disappear completely with the first wash, revealing your finished work. Wonderfully absorbent, practical and durable, this beautiful Japanese sashiko Hana Fukin placemat will soften beautifully with every use.
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.
