Tulip Hiroshima needles - Thick Milliners - 6 needles

This listing is for one "Milliners straw thick THN-082e" pack of Tulip brand milliner needles. The pack contains 6 needles. 2 each of #3, #5 and #7 sized needles.

The Tulip company, located in Hiroshima, Japan, was founded in 1948 and began making hand-sewing needles in 1950. They are known for their high-quality needles.

Each needle has undergone a special high-density abrasive polishing treatment to make their point sharp. Their smooth piecing allows them to be easily pulled through the fabric. This means that you can stitch for hours with less fatigue.

You will receive the following needles in this pack:

2 needles - #3 size 1.02 mm thick x 55.6 mm long
2 needles - #5 size .84 mm thick x 51.5 mm long
2 needles - #7 size .69 mm thick x 48 mm long

These needles have a shaft that is the same thickness as the eye and a sharp tip.

Milliner's needles are perfect for creating stitches where the thread needs to be wrapped around the needle and then the needle needs to pass through these wraps (ex: Bullion and french knots) The thin eye makes it easy to pass the needle through the wrapped threads and the long needle length allows the thread to be wrapped around the needle many times.

These needles are made in Japan. They are packaged in a boxed, plastic tube with a cork stopper.
