Because I LOVE the combination of brown thread on navy fabric, I made a kit with them.
【 What is a coffee fukin? 】
Coffee fukin is a Hanafukin (sashiko stitched kitchen cloth) stitched with brown thread on navy fabric. A few years ago, I made one for my husband and it’s been his favorite ever since. He always uses it when making coffee and that’s why I’m calling it as “coffee fukin.”
【 What’s good about coffee fukin? 】
- The thick texture with woven sashiko patterns on both sides
- Excellent for insulating heat and keep coffee warm
- The dirt or coffee drop doesn’t stand out that much
- Perfect for camping or surfing trip (that’s what my husband says)
