Kogin supplies for the UK

Thicker Japanese thread, suitable needles and textiles for counted Kogin stitching.

Kogin uses counted stitches across an open weave, so thread weight, needle and cloth need to work together.

Kogin or Sashiko?

Kogin builds geometric patterns by counting an open weave. Sashiko usually follows marked or planned lines on a more stable cloth.

Purpose-made Kogin thread is fuller than fine Sashiko thread. Pair it with an open, regular weave and a needle that carries the thicker thread comfortably.
