[Product Description]
Since its release in 1952, “Gold Eye Needles” have been loved by many as one of Japan’s representative sewing needles.
The pure gold plating on the eye (needle hole), which is also the origin of its name, takes advantage of gold’s softness to reduce friction with the thread and help prevent thread breakage.
This craftsmanship and the constant pursuit of high quality have supported its reliability for many years.
These Japanese needles are recommended for tasks requiring durability and smooth thread movement, such as futon making and repair or sewing thick padded cotton.
Hand sewing needles are broadly divided into two types: Japanese needles for traditional Japanese sewing and American-style needles for Western sewing.
Japanese needles are uniquely developed in Japan mainly for sewing kimono. They are hard, long, slender, and have sharp tips so that even delicate fabrics such as silk can be sewn smoothly without snagging. When sewing straight seams by hand without using a sewing machine, Japanese needles are suitable.
As a general rule, use thicker needles for thick fabrics and thinner needles for thin fabrics.
When choosing a needle, the thickness should match the fabric, but beginners are recommended to start with two basic types: “long thick needles” and “short thin needles.”
≪Cotton Needles≫
Main use: Thick fabrics such as wool (felt) and heavy cotton fabrics (denim, pile). Thick and long, making them resistant to bending or breaking under pressure.
