Clover Polished Needles 4 No.3.5｜ Other Products

[Product Description]Instead of nickel plating, the needle is finely polished vertically all the way to the tip, allowing it to pass smoothly through fabric without causing fatigue.The surface has very little friction, allowing surprisingly smooth sewing. Even during long periods of use it reduces fatigue, making it favored by professionals and those who frequently use needles.
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.For Japanese needles, labels such as “3 No.4” and “3 No.3” are used. The first number indicates the thickness of the needle (a larger number means thinner), and the second number indicates the length (a larger number means longer).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.”
