French-made needles for mending & sashiko

These long, large-eye needles are designed for sewing with thick threads or darning wool. You can also use them for sashiko, where the long barrel and sharp tip are helpful too.

This vintage-styled packet includes six darning needles in 60 mm x 0.27 mm size. The points are sharp. The needles are presented in a black ribbon with a stiff paper folder to keep them safe in your sewing box.

Made in France.

About Maison Sajou:

The Sajou brand is a revival and a celebration of the traditional French textile industry. The story of Sajou begins in the mid-19th century, when Jacques-Simon Sajou was the first French entrepreneur to print embroidery patterns on a large scale. The company had a long and storied history, but like many textile businesses, it was defunct by the 21st century.

The modern Maison Sajou was re-founded by Frederique Crestin-Billet in 2005 initially as a reissue house for original Sajou patterns, but eventually as a complete supplier of haberdashery and threads of many kinds.
