Clover Japan sashiko hand stitching needles - 8 needles - assorted sizes

This listing is for one pack of Clover brand sashiko needles. Each pack contains two - 2 inch length needles, two - 1.75 inch length needles, two - 1.69 inch length needles and two - 1.4 inch length needles.

Sashiko needles are strong, sharp and have a larger eye that allows for thicker, sashiko thread. This pack of Clover brand needles contains 4 different sized needles allowing you to choose the needle that is most suitable for the fabric thickness and stitch. These needles are perfect for sashiko, boro or any embroidery that uses thicker thread.

Each pack of needles contains:
2 needles - 2 inch (50.8mm) length x .84mm thick
2 needles - 1.75 inch (44.5mm) length x 0.99mm thick
2 needles - 1.69 inch(42.9mm) length x .91mm thick
2 needles - 1.4 inch (34.9mm) length x 0.89mm thick

The longer needles are perfect for creating straight or slightly curved patterns.

The shorter needles are perfect for creating small, tightly curved patterns.

These needles are made in Japan.

These needles may have become my favorite needle for working on my sashiko samplers. The medium sized needle has a larger eye than the Tulip brand allowing for thicker threads, such as the Fujix. The medium 1.75 inch needle, which I use most often, is also a smidge thicker than the Tulip needle of the same length. This makes the needle a little more comfortable for me to hold. However, The thickness of the needle as well as the larger eye may make it a little more difficult to push through denim or tightly woven fabrics. The Tulip brand still remains my favorite when using denim or tightly woven fabrics.
