ASSORTED NEEDLES IN HAIBARA CHIYOGAMI PACK | Sashiko

I am a high-quality SASHIKO needle set manufactured in Hiroshima, a city with a 300-year history of superior needle production. My needles are supple yet durable and my sharp tip will pierce cloth with ease. Use my long needles for large stitch patterns and short needles for more detailed designs.

I am wrapped in beautiful Chiyogami paper by Haibara. Chiyogami is a traditional Japanese paper (Washi) printed with patterns and Haibara is a much loved Japanese paper company with a rich 200-year history. Every pattern holds a story.

Fun Fact: Since its establishment in the late Edo period, Haibara has commissioned illustrators and artists of the time to create original designs for their chiyogami. Its exquisite beauty drove the Japonisme movement in Western Europe when Japan opened up trade to the West in the 19th century.
