These extra-long embroidery needles are designed specifically for kogin, with just the right balance of flexibility, strength, and smoothness for easier and more precise work. Kogin is a type of Japanese embroidery that has similarities to Western embroidery and to Japanese sashiko. These jumbo needles are a purpose-built tool that allows you to pick up more stitches, more quickly. They have a rounded but highly tapered tip that maneuvers easily through open-weave fabric without getting stuck. And they have a big eye so you can thread your embroidery floss without damaging it. Four needles, 1.14 mm × 65.0 mm each. Presented thoughtfully — Tulip hand-sewing needles come in a corked storage tube, inside a paper gift box with red ribbon. Made in Japan. TULIP NEEDLE — HIROSHIMA Made from nickel-plated steel and specially polished for smooth sewing, Tulip needles are premium tools for textile artists, bookbinders, and anyone else who works with thread. Made in Japan since 1948.
