Ever wonder where the heck you put that needle? Fret no more because I am the handy little needle helper you've been looking for. With a built in magnet I will keep your needles safe during your projects, particularly useful during hand sewing and needlework.
I'm also pretty cute, made from a ceramic tile in a flower motif which is glazed and fired, giving me a smooth, glossy coat with a rustic texture. And bonus, I have a built in needle polisher to keep your needles gliding smoothly though cloth. Just pop the needle tip into the hole slowly, move back and forth and rotate to polish the entire surface.
Fun Fact: Kawara is a traditional Japanese roof tile dating back to 1610. The first Kawara were made for castles and later developed along with the construction rush of various types of buildings in the Edo period. My Awaji Kawara roof tile is by Irakato in Awaji Island using manufacturing methods inherited from his grandfather's generation.
