Sashiko, a traditional Japanese embroidery technique built on simple running stitches, is one of our favorite crafts at Bad Cat Knit Goods. Sashiko stitching adds both strength and striking visual patterns to fabric. You'll find everything you need for your next piece right here: sashiko thread in traditional and modern colors, sashiko needles designed for the technique's longer, repeated stitches, indigo and other sashiko-weight fabric, and patterns and kits ranging from classic geometric designs to visible mending projects. Whether you're working your first simple grid pattern or deep into an intricate traditional design, you'll find what you need below, hand-selected by a staff that respects sashiko as a craft with centuries of history behind it, not just a trend. We host regular Knit/Craft Nights where you can bring a project and work alongside other stitchers and makers in our community. And if you're brand new, we mean it when we say beginners are genuinely welcome here. Browse our full in-stock sashiko selection below, from first-project basics to everything a serious sashiko stitcher could want.
