Sashiko Needles - by Lecien Japan

Very sturdy and variety of sizes! Super glad I got these. I was considering just using an embroidery needle for sashiko, but I credit these with it looking very uniform and nice on my first try. It went through denim like it was nothing, which I know not to be the case with my regular embroidery needle. For those considering this, I would recommend! These needles have the rigidity, length and thickness you need for sashiko.

Great, sharp and sturdy

Good quality sashiko needles. I wish they were a little bit longer, but they get the job done nicely and are a good value.

Smooth, strong and sharp--seems like the James Bond of sashiko needles to me! I use a palm thimble when I can for the ergonomic advantage, so a longer needle is a must. But a bendy needle is just tears waiting to happen! All the needles in this pack were strong and not at all flexible, from the shortest (no surprise there) to the longest (very pleasing). The eyes are generous and well smoothed. Whenever I try out a new needle, I use a bit of silk thread to test the eye to make sure it won't be slowly (or not so slowly) eroding my thread. These needles all passed the silk thread test, no snagging at all. The points are very sharp, a great advantage in regulating stitch length. All in all, very nice needles to work with.

The needle I used to start work on my project was delightfully sharp! However, I took the comments regarding the durability to heart, and ended up breaking the needle. It was definitely my fault for using the needle on the reinforced section of my canvas bag. Just use caution if you’re working with thicker material.

Excellent quality, 2 of each kind. So perfect for sashiko threads and excellent price. I have bought this many times for my students, they all love them

These needles are easy to thread and move through the fabric smoothly. I am new to sashiko, and I find these needles very easy to work with.

High quality sashiko needles. Sharp,come in different sizes for a variety of stitches, gold needle eye to distinguish from other needles, and,comes with threader.

Ok not much more you can say.

I do a certain style of freehand embroidery that requires slightly thicker yarn and I need a sharp needle a combination I struggle to find the right needles for. These are perfect

Este paquete tiene agujas de diferentes tamaños, muy adecuadas para diferentes puntadas de sashiko.

Ça va tellement mieux avec ces aiguilles. Elles glissent bien.

SHARP!!!!! NOT BLUNT!!!!! I will always appreciate a good sewing needle, and these are good needles, however I actually wanted BLUNT Sashiko needles to do Kogan Zashi on counted cloth. These are lovely needles but sharp enough that it takes a second to realise that you have stabbed yourself and certainly sharp enough to split the threads of your cloth. I will keep these only because they are good quality needles but it would have been better to receive the correct tool to do the job at hand. Lost stars for poor product description.
