Usually sashiko threads consists of 4 or 6 strands of threads depending on the thickness. For right-handed people like me, they work just fine without having any troubles. But it seems that they get untwisted when left-handed people stitches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI learned this fact from my friend \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/momo_sashico?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e@momo_sashico\u003c\/a\u003e who is a great artisan of sashiko and left-handed. She had this “untwisting thread” issue for a long time, and one day, she found the thread which is easy to stitch with and then she found out the difference of the twisting direction. Now she is ordering the thread from the manufacturer and making them dye with indigo and Indian madder to make her original threads for the purpose of making her sashiko more beautiful. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eShe was making these threads just for herself and didn’t have any intention to sell, but she generously offered me some this time.
