Until I tried Tulip needles, I had not been able to find any to replicate the smoothness, accuracy and delicacy of antique needles. The length and fineness of the needle helps ensure stitches are as hidden as possible plus their fine, polished tip and evenly-coated surface slide well through most materials, while the balanced spring stiffness ensures ideal use elasticity. These needles are long with round eyes and ideal when used in the art of pleating and creating fancy decorative stitching or commonly known as smocking.Needles feature a strong and smooth polished body made of steel which glide through fabrics easily, with a beautifully made needle eye that prevents snagging and facilitates easier threading. I have tried many, many types and brands of needles over the years, my preference being for the glorious packets of antique needles, which are of course tricky to source in sufficient quantity. Because they are long there is no need to grip them tightly therefore eliminating any pain in your hand that you may experience. Our products are sourced with care and consideration for those who make them and we work with smaller companies and individuals whose sourcing and manufacturing process are transparent.
