Soft and Fluffy Japan

Japanese Towel

Soft and Fluffy Japan – ふわふわ日本 (日本のタオル)

✨Dear Beautiful ✨,

I hope that everything is going well with you:). Soon we are in the month of December. I feel this year has passed so fast. Do you have the same feeling?

Soft and Fluffy Japan With Japanese Towels

Oh, another topic that I can’t wait to share with you is Japanese Towels.

The Japanese towels are simple so soft, and delicate. I think that it really is a great metaphor for the Japanese people. When I first time met a Japanese, I immediately felt different. I felt such a softness, and at peace. In my experience most Japanese people approach you with a soft and kind voice, and they try their best to make you feel welcome in their world.

Imabari Towels

The Towel is named Imabari Towel, and are the most sold towel in Japan! The production of the towels began in Ehime Prefecture’s Imabari City, located on Shikoku island.

Today, Imabari City has become the largest towel producer in the world. The area has acquired a wealth of excellent craft techniques, for over 125 years. And this is why the area is able to continue the creation of Imabari towels.

One of the official quality standards for the towel is:

To be able to completely absorb water in five seconds or less and feel dry after use.

Towels who fulfill this requirement, and of course several other requirements, get an official label of blue stripes and white circle on a red background, as shown on the photo above.

Stays Soft And Fluffy

When you touch an Imabari towel you can immediately feel the difference from a regular towel. The softness, and the material quality gives the towel a gentle and wonderful feel.

Not only are the towels soft, but they will remain gently on the skin even after many washes. Myself, I have a few Imabari towels, and they are still in a great condition even after many years of use. I can highly recommend them. And you can too choose among so many types, beautiful colors, and lengths.

Due to the high quality, and longevity of the towel, makes them popular as gifts. In Japan, I often saw special wedding towel gifts sets, and newborn towels gift sets. They were so incredible cute, and lovely!!

Try them?

Love,

Jeanette

💕 Sashiko Thread 💗

The sashiko thread is different from many embroidery threads.

🍒 It is made by twisting several thin cotton threads together, and has a looser twist, and
🍒 made from long and stable cotton meaning that it is very hard wearing and strong. 

The thickness of the Sashiko thread varies. 

Thick threads give a soft and rustic feel while thin threads give a delicate and beautiful finish. 

Vegetable-dyed treads are popular for their gentle colours. Find your favourite yarn by comparing them. 

In the picture you will find some of my favourite Sashiko threads.

To the most left: @sashikostory color #013 - thick and lovely thread
In the middle: @hobbyra_hobbyre color #116 - medium thick, the one I use the most.
To the right side: @ajisaidrop thin and delicate.

With sashiko love,
Jeanette

Dear beautiful 🫶🏻

You might be curious about what Sashiko is.

Sashiko is a Japanese hand sewing technique that was developed in Japan a few centuries ago or as beautifully expressed by Keiko & Atsushi Futatsuya:

"Sashiko is a process of repairing the fabric to repair, strengthen and warm the clothes that the family member will wear"

Sashiko was originally a job for women to repair men's clothing over the winter. Both women and men worked as farmers in the summer. But in winter, men worked in the forest and women repaired the fabric. This practice still exists in some parts of Japan.

💫 My story with Sashiko
I discovered Sashiko one day when I walked into a small hobby shop in our neighborhood in Tokyo. Many Japanese women bought small pieces of white fabrics with printed patterns and also colorful threads. I wondered what they were going to do?

They all had to make small hand-sewn handkerchiefs. I found it fascinating and wanted to try it myself.

After several years of creating small pieces of hand-stitched fabrics using the Japanese needlework technique, I want to share my passion with the world. Because

It is pure bliss. Relaxing. And funny.

Do you also want to try? You can see more about Sashiko in my link in my profile.

Thank you for stopping by 🤎

a sweet summer day with a newly handmade handkerchief for your summer bag 🌞😊

my latest creation is this cute handkerchief /  tea towel 🤎

The patten is called ✨花ぐるま ✨which means flower wheels in the Japanese language. Perhaps you also can imagine small “flower wheels” in the pattern !

it took me a while to make it because you have to stitch each flower.

however, the process was fun and rewarding !

do you like this pattern ?
