Sajou produce haberdashery items made in France to the highest standards (in some cases even produced on the original old machinery). Perfect for gifts and collectors, and for those of you unable to resist a quality that is seldom found in today's mass produced haberdashery products.
Sajou was created in 1828 by Jaques- Simon Sajou, selling haberdashery for embroidery, tapestry, lace, crochet and weaving. His pattern albums are sought after to this day by collectors worldwide. In 2005 the Sajou brand was purchased and revived by avid collector; Frederique Crestin- Billet. Many of the old designs have been faithfully reproduced and there are some new designs that have been added in the Sajou style.
Materials: 32 Count Embroidery Linen, Cross Stitch Chart, Tin lidded pot, Label for pot, Retours du Nord Thread.
A super supplier of Sajou with great range of colours and availability - this thread is strong but unusually fine and supplied on an iconic winder - just right. Many thanks
So very pretty, elegant and subtle - delighted. (Great that a little history on the production of these ribbons provided.)
Good customer service and arrived promptly.
