What is Coffee Sashiko Fukin?
Coffee fukin is a Hanafukin (sashiko stitched kitchen cloth) stitched with brown thread on navy fabric. A few years ago, I made one for my husband and it’s been his favorite ever since. He always uses it when making coffee and that’s why I’m calling it as “coffee fukin.”
What's good about coffee fukin?
- The thick texture with woven sashiko patterns on both sides
- Excellent for insulating heat and keep coffee warm
- The dirt or coffee drop doesn’t stand out that much
- Perfect for camping or surfing trip (that’s what my husband says)
