Thank you for viewing. This is a set of sashiko threads. New + used items. The used ones have been used sparingly, so I think you can use them a lot. Shipping will be by post. We have a cat. Although we try not to let the cat into the storage room, it is impossible to completely prevent cat hair from sticking to the items. If you are concerned about this or have allergies, please refrain from purchasing. Thank you for your consideration.
