Sashiko Needles, assorted short or long

package of 6 Sashiko needles

package of short Sashiko needles contains 2 each of three sizes:

• 45.5mm in length x 0.84mm
• 42.9mm in length x 0.92mm
• 36.4mm in length x 0.84mm

package of long Sashiko needles contains 2 each of three sizes:

• 66.7mm in length x 1.02mm
• 44.5mm in length x 0.97mm
• 51.5mm in length x 0.84mm

These are fabulous for big stitch hand quilting. Tulip needles go through more than 30 processes to make sure each needle is of high quality. The finish on these needles makes them a joy to stitch with. (Yes, it really does make a difference!)

I use these needles for hand quilting with size 5 and 8 perle cotton. You might enjoy using them for size 12 cotton thread or perle cotton too.

For size 5 perle cotton, I suggest using the long needles. For size 8 or 12 perle cotton needles from either package will work nicely. The long needles have larger eyes than the shorties.
