Made by Olympus, the longstanding Japanese sashiko supplier, these long sashiko needles are the perfect choice for thick threads and ornamental stitches of all kinds. We've talked to more than a few sewists who swear by sashiko needles as their go-to for all hand-sewing projects.
That's because sashiko needles combine several important features: they're quite sharp, so you can easily get through thicker materials; they have large eyes for thick threads; they are longer than other needles; and they are made specifically for running and gathering stitches. When tacking a sewing project, this is a great needle to reach for.
