Naturally Dyed Cotton Thread – Temari Fine Thread (100% Cotton)
Hand-dyed with colors extracted from natural plants.
This thread is made from 100% cotton and dyed by hand using natural plant-based dyes. It is the same thread used to wrap the base of NONA's temari, and is also ideal for a variety of needlework projects including sashiko, embroidery, knitting, and darning. Its fine thickness makes it especially suitable for detailed stitching that calls for precision and subtle texture.
This thread brings a natural warmth and authenticity to your handcrafts — a perfect companion for slow, intentional making rooted in tradition.
Color Theme Sets Each NONA thread set is grouped by theme and inspired by the natural world, seasons, and traditional Japanese symbolism. The dyes may change slightly with the seasons, adding unique character to each bundle.
