These nickel-plated steel needles are designed specifically for hand-sewing, with just the right balance of flexibility, strength, and smoothness for easier and more precise work.

This is the Sashiko Needles Short Assortment, which includes six assorted needles that are perfect forsashikoembroidery (a traditional Japanese method of mending, patching, and reinforcing textiles.) Short needles are good for working in tighter spots and sewing more quickly through thick fabrics.

Two 0.91 x 42.9 mm needles, two 0.84 x 45.5 mm needles and two 0.84 x 36.4mm needles. Presented thoughtfully Tulip hand-sewing needles come in a corked storage tube, inside a paper gift box with red ribbon.

Made in Japan.
