What is Sashiko?

Sashiko means “little stabs,” which perfectly describes this Japanese style of hand embroidery that creates beautiful, intricate patterns from a simple running stitch. It’s easy to learn and a relaxing art for stitchers of all levels.

When I have a new project in mind, or need an idea for what to make next, I start looking at Snuggly Monkey - for projects to order or supplies for one I am planning or notions that make the process of making things more enjoyable. Always reliably great things that keep me excited to keep making things.

I love perusing the Snuggly Monkey website and placing an order with them. They are efficient, professional and everything arrives beautifully packaged and as described. Unfortunately I’m not close enough to visit the store in person, but receiving a package from them always makes up for that. Highly recommend Snuggly Monkey.

Snuggly Monkey always has such fantastic supplies at great price points. But it is not just the lovely supplies that make this shop such a gem; Claudia and her team are all super experienced and happily provide advice and guidance which is most appreciated. Thanks for all you do for the needlework community!

Snuggly Monkey is the absolute best of both worlds—all you could want from an online store (fast shipping, thoughtful packaging, broad selection) with all of the benefits of a lovely small business (curated + quality items, community education and engagement, kind customer service, sustainable packaging). I feel fortunate to have found them and glad to support them!
