These needles are equipped with a unique eye that is large enough for sashiko’s thick threads but without the usual bulge in the needle’s shape to accommodate the big eye. Instead, these Special Straight Eye needles have a smooth, thin shape from end to end, so that you can easily pull through many sashiko stitches at a time.

The Special Straight Eye Thin needles are 0.84 mm in diameter and 51.5 mm long. Four per package, presented thoughtfully Tulip hand-sewing needles come in a corked storage tube, inside a paper gift box with red ribbon.

Made in Japan.
