Tulip Sashiko needles are my preferred needle for Japanese embroidery. I use shorter needles when the stitch pattern is curved and longer ones for straight lines. Thin needles are good for lighter weight stitching fabric and the thicker ones for heavier weight fabric or when I’m stitching denim or through two layers of fabric. The Tulip needles are nice and sharp, sliding through the fabric easily. You won’t be disappointed with Tulip Sashiko needles.

I use these for hand sewing and quilting. They're very sharp and sturdy and high quality. The variety of sizes is helpful to have too. I will definitely buy again - though I may not need to since I think they will last awhile!

Ok so if it's possible to be in love with a needle, I am. The sharpness, the durability, the fineness of the needle itself- makes sashiko so easy fort a beginner! YES YES YES

I use these needles for mending and don't know how I have lived without them! They make hand-sewing thick fabrics (or layers) so much easier since these needles just slide through without much effort at all. I absolutely love them and will also use them for Sashiko in the future. Great quality for a great price and such a classy way of storing them in the little vial with a cork stopper. Love them!

I got these needles based on a recommendation from somewhere I can’t remember. BUT THEY’RE LIFE-SAVING.I’ve been working on adding florals to a denim jacket and in the course of 4 hours, snapped about 6 DMC embroidery needles. I was losing my mind. These? 2 months in and not a bent or broken needle yet, and they make pushing through multiple layers of fabric and thread a breeze, where before I felt I was bruising my finger trips attempting to push and pull the needle through before.Highly recommend, A++.

These are truly superior needles! On easy-to-needle fabric I can’t tell the difference between these and John James, but when I did some sashiko on denim patches, these really made a world of difference! They slipped through the difficult thick layers without any problem. The previously hellacious corners became a breeze! I especially like the longer needles. The smaller ones don’t have quite as big an eye, and though you might say “well, of course that’s true” it seems that that they aren’t as a ratio, though that may simply be an illusion. No matter. I still give these five stars. Yes, they’re pricey but we’re not talking about the big bucks here. And you get a cute little glass tube with a real cork stopper to keep them in. I do prefer to keep mine in a needle book while in use (and it’s better for them) but that container is just so cute. I use it to carry some other tiny things in my purse!

What a pleasure! I am no expert; to me, discounter needles are a pain.Not these: Lovely to look at, fine, crafted quality. Sturdy and flexible needles, they do not bend, have no sharp edges eg at the eye and have a symmetrically pointy end. A pleasure for hand stitching, and three practically long sizes to chose from.I put a small piece of tissue into the bottom of the glass so the sharp ends do not suffer over time.They make me happy just looking at them and should last a very long time. Enjoy!

Although these Tulip Shashiko Needles are beautifully made and a dream to use, their pretty box arrived crushed.
