I am an expertly crafted needle set containing eight hand sewing needles in four different lengths. My precise, sharp point is achieved through rigorous vertical polishing, and makes for a delightful sewing experience.
My needles are manufactured in Kanazawa and have been coveted by seamstresses of its booming textile industry for over 440 years. My set is housed in a unique paper case adorned with a beautiful silk tassel.
Fun Fact: My paper case in inspired by the seamstresses of Kanazawa who took particular care of their Meboso's needles by creating hand-sewn bags or pendant style containers to keep them safe and sharp.
