Tulip Sashiko Needles - Assorted Short
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 'short' style Sashiko needles are useful for stitching curved designs.
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 Short needles contains:
- 2 x 0.84 x 45.5 mm.
- 2 x 0.91 x 42.9 mm.
