The Best Needles

Every now and then I run across a really fantastic stitching notion. I found Tulip Needles when I was taking the Royal School of Needlework classes this past spring in Williamsburg, VA. I had never seen them before and just the packaging alone is beautiful and fascinating.

Look at the little red cord on the end...it holds a little paper seal with a red tulip printed on it. The shape of the package is unusual. And best of all, inside is a little plastic tube with a tiny cork that holds the needles. It's like opening a jewelry box and finding an incredible surprise inside!

The needles are made in Hiroshima, Japan. Each needle goes through 30 processes to make sure they are safe, glide through the fabric effortlessly and are of the highest quality available.

These are perfect for delicate needlework, beading, needle weaving, smocking...anywhere a fine needle is required. They come in several types: Tapestry, Milliners, Quilting Embroidery, Applique and more. I've been able to stock a few on my website at the bottom of the Notions page. Please check them out!
