An assorted pack of 6 sashiko needles in four sizes from Lecien's Hidamari sashiko line — plus a needle threader. Sashiko needles are longer than standard embroidery needles so you can load multiple running stitches onto the shaft before pulling through, which is essential for the even, rhythmic stitch lines that define sashiko. Each needle has a large eye designed to handle thick sashiko thread comfortably. The set includes two shorter needles for tighter curves and detailed patterns, and two longer ones for straight-line stitching and larger motifs — with one of each thickness per length to suit different thread weights. Made in Japan, steel.
