Tulip Hiroshima Sashiko Needles - Assorted Long

Tulip Hiroshima Sashiko Needles - Assorted Long

£9,00Preis

These beautiful needles are made in Hiroshima which for 300 years has been the needle-making capital of Japan.

 

Sashiko needles are suitable for patching or Boro/Sashiko style mending on woven fabrics such as denim.

 

The 'long' styles are useful for stitching long line designs such as simple running stitch.

 

The quality of these needles is outstanding - their sharp tip, ultra smooth & highly-polished finish and unbeatable strength make them a pleasure to mend with.

 

They are similar to sharps needles but much thicker, so less likely to bend when loading lots of stitches on the needle before pulling the thread through.

 

This pack of Assorted Long needles come packaged in a small corked plastic tube inside a stunning box which contains:

2 x 1.02mm x 66.7mm

2 x 0.97 x44.5mm

2 x 0.84mm x 51.5mm

 

Two sizes in this assortment feature a regular needle eye and one size features a long, oval shaped eye for stitching with thicker Sashiko thread.

 

Nickel plated steel needles with a gold plated eye.
