BOHIN Sashiko needles – 3 strong needles for Sashiko, hand quilting & thick thread

Strong. Sharp. Versatile. These high-quality Sashiko needles from BOHIN were originally developed for the traditional Japanese Sashiko technique – but are just as suitable for modern hand quilting projects, visible mending, or creative decorative stitches with thick thread.

The set contains three differently long, sturdy needles with an extra-large eye that also easily accommodates Sashiko thread, pearl cotton, or Aurifil 8wt. The needles have a sharp point and are strong enough to glide through multiple fabric layers – perfect for quilt sandwiches, linen fabrics, or sturdy cotton textiles.

Typical BOHIN: The needles are made of nickel-plated quality steel, manufactured in France, and offer excellent glide – for even, clean stitches.
