Orion constellation embroidery kit 🌌

🌌 Embroidery with glow-in-the-dark thread

Introducing the Sora Embroidery Kit

Art Fiber Endo, a dyeing studio in Nishijin, Kyoto, has dyed a deep blue fabric to resemble the night sky.

🌌 [Kit Overview]

This production kit allows you to embroider constellations on a hand-dyed, graduated deep blue fabric with glow-in-the-dark thread and gold thread.

🌌 [What kind of constellation is Orion?]

 Many people are probably familiar with the ribbon-like arrangement of stars in Orion.
The motif is Orion, a young giant famous for his strength.

The kit's instruction manual includes a column, so you can enjoy embroidering while learning about the shape and story of the constellation.
Your heart will be soothed as you stitch away, dreaming of the stars.

The lines of Orion and the stars floating in the night sky are embroidered using basic embroidery techniques such as street stitch and fly stitch.

【Embroidery Scene Photo Insertion】

The silhouette of Orion surrounding the constellation is embroidered with backstitch. These are simple stitches, but the glow-in-the-dark thread used for embroidery makes the swan's figure glow in the dark, adding color to your work.

🌌 [Glow-in-the-dark embroidery artwork]

▼The photo below shows a finished example of a bobbin of glow-in-the-dark thread and a work made with it, with no lights on. ⚠️The light stored is faint. You will be able to perceive the constellation lines floating in the dark in the finished work, but the glow of the glow-in-the-dark thread will not be noticeable if there are other light sources nearby. Please note that the photos of the work in the dark have been adjusted to make the work stand out.




As the season shifts from summer to autumn, and we have more opportunities to look up at the clear night sky and moonlight, we would like to offer everyone a new kit, the "Sora Embroidery Kit," which adds color to monotone with light. Following Cygnus, the constellation kits will offer a diverse lineup including Pegasus, Orion, Ursa Major, and more.

🎀 [How to display your work]

Why not put your finished work in a frame and display it on a tabletop or in another familiar place? The thread used for the swan's silhouette stores light and glows in the dark. It also stores light under fluorescent lights in a room, but sunlight stores light better and makes it glow brighter and longer. Placing it by a window will naturally charge it with sunlight. Highly recommended. Please note that the stored light will gradually dim and eventually disappear. Please recharge it with light again.


Everyone, please enjoy creating wonderful works!
Thank you for your continued support of Art Fiber Endo!!
