Six "short" sashiko needles that are polished lengthwise to minimize surface contact with the cloth.

Tulip Needles are made in Hiroshima Japan, an area famous for making needles. Making a Tulip needle takes more than 30 steps, using traditional needle-making techniques that have been handed down through generations of skilled craftsmen.

Tulip needles offer:

A quality eye
The needles have a somewhat larger needle eye, with a smooth surface both inside and out.

Strong body
With just the right amount of flexibility, the needles are resistant to bending or breaking.

Sharp point
The needles points have undergone special high-density abrasive polishing treatment for sharpness so that you can stitch for hours with less fatigue.

Includes 2 each of:
.84 x 45.5 mm needles
.91 x 42.9 mm needles
.84 x 36.4 mm needles

Made in Japan.
