Sashiko Needles - by Lecien Japan

High quality sashiko needles. Sharp,come in different sizes for a variety of stitches, gold needle eye to distinguish from other needles, and,comes with threader.

These are wonderful, strong needles with good size eyes. I use them for stitching with heavier embroidery thread

These needles are easy to thread and move through the fabric smoothly. I am new to sashiko, and I find these needles very easy to work with.

Smooth, strong and sharp--seems like the James Bond of sashiko needles to me!I use a palm thimble when I can for the ergonomic advantage, so a longer needle is a must. But a bendy needle is just tears waiting to happen! All the needles in this pack were strong and not at all flexible, from the shortest (no surprise there) to the longest (very pleasing).The eyes are generous and well smoothed. Whenever I try out a new needle, I use a bit of silk thread to test the eye to make sure it won't be slowly (or not so slowly) eroding my thread. These needles all passed the silk thread test, no snagging at all. The points are very sharp, a great advantage in regulating stitch length.All in all, very nice needles to work with.

It is of good quality and very durable. It is nice that it contains different-length needles.

These are really sturdy needles. My biggest problem is even with the wide eyes threading the needles with Sashiko thread is really difficult. So far I've just altered a dress with the biggest needle and it went through the material super easy.

They are a nice set. They look like they will be easy to use. And it's nice to have a choice.if you buy in your local store in the US there is only one brand.they don't have any burrs and look well made. I'm pleased with my purchase and I have ordered a second set

Very nice to sew with and not too hard to thread. Sharper than ordinary needle which works well.
