相棒の裁縫道具箱が出て来た。懐かしい。と言ってもこの箱を見るのは3度目くらいで、懐かしいのは中に入っている
縫い糸。22色の糸がきれいに織り込まれていて、使う時は欲しい色の糸を端から
キューッとつまんで引き抜く。長さも48センチと丁度いい。「ヘタの長糸」さようなら。相棒の裁縫箱の中でコレを初めて見た時、ものすごく感動した。古くてもう手に入らないモノなのかと思ったら、ドイツを訪れた時に(もう10年くらい前だけど)手芸コーナーで普通に売られていたのを見つけたので、いくつかお土産用に購入した。改めて見てもキレイ。そしてナイキの
エアウーブンみたいだな、とも思ったり。
This is C's old sewing kit. It is probably the third time for me to see this, but I have a strong memory about it because of this
sewing thread. The twenty-two different colours of thread are beautifully woven, and I can
pick out a colour from one side. The threads are 48cm long, a very comfortable length for sewing. When I saw this for the first time, I was really amazed. I thought this was a very old product and didn't expect to see it in shops, but when I visited Germany about ten years ago, this was still available. I was happy to buy some for my mother and friends. It still looks amazing to me and it reminds me of
Nike Air Woven.
