Tulip Long Sashiko Needles Assorted Tube of 6

These are excellent needles, in three different sizes. I very much want to learn Sashiko embroidery and wanted to buy quality needles to make learning easier. I love that these needles are so well packaged and come in a needle case. I believe that shows the degree to which the manufacturer was willing to go to treat these needles with respect and to help me, the user, do so as well. These needles have large eyes to accommodate the thick Sashiko thread. The needles are also very long and strong to be able to accomplish the long runs of individual stitches that are characteristic of Sashiko embroidery.

These Tulip long sashiko needles are a joy to work with. The tube includes 6 needles in different lengths and thicknesses, making it easy to choose the right one for various fabrics and designs. They feel strong yet flexible, gliding smoothly through multiple fabric layers, and the sharp tip allows for clean stitches without damaging the material. The eye of the needle is wide enough to thread sashiko thread with ease. The tube case is a thoughtful touch, keeping the needles protected and neatly organized. A great choice for anyone who values quality and precision in their Japanese embroidery projects.

Wow. Just wow. They're not only the best sashiko needles I've ever used, they're the nicest hand sewing needles I've ever had. Impeccably sharp, smooth, nicely tapered, and easy to thread and work with. The longest one in this pack is also long enough that I can comfortably use it with my giant monster hands. If you're in the market for sashiko needles these are worth the extra cost.

I bought these needles to lear sashiko but they are just great needles for hand sewing. Will buy again. :)

These needles are top notch for my mending tasks.

These needles are super nice, they are probably the sharpest needles I own, holding a point for a long time making them super good for long term use. I believe I bought these just over a year ago now, and at this point I have only used three of the needles, with the only time I have switched being that the needles snapped. Although they did snap, I am gonna blame a lot of that on me. I'm a pretty new person to hand sewing, and while I've picked up a lot and do it pretty often now, I often apply pressure to the needle which bends it snapping it pretty easy. This is especially rough in tough fabrics like denim, where it can be a bit harder to push through thicker parts of the fabric. Other than the needles snapping (my fault) they do go through fabric super easy, and have a nice smooth quality when doing so, which really helps when you have to go through a lot of material.

Excellent length! Can get about 5-7 stitches on. Will take 3 strands of embroidery thread. Needles are very smooth and glide effortlessly.

No burs on needles, different lengths that is good to try them to see which one works for which project. I’m currently doing wool and beating.
