Made by Olympus, the longstanding Japanese sashiko supplier, these long sashiko needles are the perfect choice for thick threads and ornamental stitches of all kinds. We've talked to more than a few sewists who swear by sashiko needles as their go-to for all hand-sewing projects.
That's because sashiko needles combine several important features: they're quite sharp, so you can easily get through thicker materials; they have large eyes for thick threads; they are longer than other needles; and they are made specifically for running and gathering stitches. When tacking a sewing project, this is a great needle to reach for.
About Olympus
Olympus has made cotton threads in Japan for more than a century. In 1908, the company started production of sewing threads, and in 1929 they began making their first embroidery flosses. Each chapter in Olympus' long history has been accompanied by technical advancements, making the threads stronger, more consistent, and more beautiful with each new era.
Olympus threads are carefully produced for color consistency between batches, so fiber artists can rely on these products for the long term.
