TULIP HIROSHIMA
More control for smaller sashiko details
Choose Tulip’s short sashiko assortment for compact stitching areas, curved lines and visible-mending details. The pack gives you three needle sizes between 36.4mm and 45.5mm long, so you can match the needle to your fabric, thread and preferred grip.
Shorter lengths are useful for smaller motifs and changes of direction.
Try different lengths and diameters without buying three separate packs.

Using your needles
Thread a needle suited to your sashiko thread and test it on the project fabric. Work a comfortable number of running stitches at a time, easing the thread through without puckering. Switch to a longer needle when a large open area makes loading more stitches helpful.
Good to know: One six-needle assortment for hand stitching. Thread, fabric and patterns are sold separately.
