Whether you are new to these practices or a seasoned stitcher, the group will foster skill-building, creativity, and appreciation for the cultural heritage woven into every stitch.

Beyond technique, the group will highlight current trends and innovations in the sashiko world, from new tools and products to contemporary interpretations of traditional practices. Members will enjoy lively discussions, hands-on exploration, and a supportive community that values both the meditative process and the expressive potential of rhythmic stitching. Together, we’ll cultivate inspiration, share resources, and deepen our connection to this timeless craft in a collaborative and engaging environment.

Materials supplied by participants: Please bring whatever project/s you are working on, any finished projects for show and tell as well as yarn acquisitions and new project ideas.

Together, we’ll cultivate inspiration, share resources, and deepen our connection to this timeless craft in a collaborative and engaging environment.

Stitch & Stab Circle (07 December 2026)

Mon, 07 Dec 2026 18:00:00 GMT

Knitters! Crocheters! Needlefelters! Let's get together with your needles or hooks and make stuff. This is not a class- you should know something about your chosen craft but my suspicion is that you will learn something along the way. Knitters, needlefelters and crocheters are just like that. We do have some experienced folks in our group so you can count on getting some advice too.

Materials supplied by participants: Please bring whatever project/s you are working on, any FO's for show and tell as well as yarn acquisitions and new project ideas.

Skill level: This is not a beginner's class. You should have some knowledge of your craft, but all skill levels are welcome!

The Sashiko and Boro Interest Group at Local Cloth Fiber Studio in Asheville offers a welcoming space for fiber enthusiasts to explore and celebrate the rich traditions of Japanese hand-stitching. Each monthly gathering will provide opportunities to refresh foundational techniques, participate in stitchalong projects, and discover the artistry behind sashiko and boro through profiles of notable makers and exhibits. Whether you are new to these practices or a seasoned stitcher, the group will foster skill-building, creativity, and appreciation for the cultural heritage woven into every stitch.

Beyond technique, the group will highlight current trends and innovations in the sashiko world, from new tools and products to contemporary interpretations of traditional practices. Members will enjoy lively discussions, hands-on exploration, and a supportive community that values both the meditative process and the expressive potential of rhythmic stitching. Together, we’ll cultivate inspiration, share resources, and deepen our connection to this timeless craft in a collaborative and engaging environment.

Materials supplied by participants: Please bring whatever project/s you are working on, any finished projects for show and tell as well as yarn acquisitions and new project ideas.
