Sashiko Needle

Thesashiko needle is specially designed for traditional Japanese embroidery. Longer and stronger than a standard embroidery needle, it allows you to make several stitches at once, ensuring smooth and even sewing. Its fine point easily pierces dense fabrics like cotton or linen, while its elongated eye makes it easier to thread the sashiko thread, which is often thicker.

Ideal for cotton or linen fabrics, the sashiko needle enables the reproduction of typical sashiko patterns while ensuring a neat, balanced finish.
