We use these thread in our classes and our book and personal sashiko and handsewing projects. However, we’ve also used these same threads for hand quilting, embroidery, and even cross stitcha nd machine embroidery. We picked the colors for this collection specifically to work across a wide range of projects and fabrics whether you want your threads to stand out for sashiko or blend in more for shading in embroidery and quilting.
If you’ve never worked with Aurifil thread before in your hand sewing and sashiko, do yourself a favor and try this essentials collection. You’ll find out very quickly why we only work with Aurifil thread: smooth thread that doesn't easily tangle or snag. Aurifil thread produces virtually no lint or thread dust to clog up your machines. We were hooked from the first samples we used and are now Aurifil Ambassadors and designers.

The Cowl Collection Yarn - Hand Dyed by Knitted Kneil
Kneil, of Knitted Kneil Fibers, hand-dyed aran weight yarn for us in two colors,
tones of aubergine and chartreuse.
We then gave two designers one skein of each color and they got to work designing.
The result is two patterns, one a brioche knit marvel, the other mosaic crochet beauty.
Purchase the yarn by the skein or in a kit with both patterns.
As part of our Artisan Space Artisans program, 75% of the net profits from the sale of the kits and yarn goes to the artisans. For too long, the industry has short changed the creatives that make our industry work. At Artisan Space, we want to change that.
They do the work… we pay them for that work. Period.
