Inspired by the gentle silhouette of distant mountain ranges, this timeless design captures the quiet beauty of the Japanese landscape.
The repeating geometric pattern is both relaxing to stitch and striking in its simplicity, making it a wonderful project for all skill levels.
Pre-stencilled on traditional Japanese sarashi cotton, the printed markings disappear with the first wash. Wonderfully absorbent, practical and durable, this handmade placemat will soften beautifully with every use.
Our extensive range of single-coloured and variegated sashiko threads enables you to create many unique colour and design variations which can be used simply as designed as a placemat or or table runner, or you could use the design to create the perfect sized cushions, some unique wall art, a bag, incorporate in a quilt or a garment, eg a jacket.
