Olympus Sashiko Needles SN-0001 – 2-Piece Set (Large & Small)

A set of 2 Olympus sashiko needles in two lengths — 65 mm (large) and 48 mm (small). Sashiko needles are longer and sturdier than standard embroidery needles, with a sharp point and a large gold eye designed for thick sashiko thread. The extra length is essential to the technique: sashiko is worked by loading multiple running stitches onto the needle at once before pulling through, and a longer needle lets you gather more stitches in a single pass. The 65 mm needle suits long straight runs and larger patterns; the 48 mm needle is easier to handle in curves, corners, and tighter pattern sections. This two-piece set covers the most common pairing for general sashiko work. If you want the full range of lengths including intermediate sizes, the SN-0004 (4-piece set) adds 54 mm and 42.9 mm needles.
