This listing is for one box of Misuya hand sewing needles. Each box contains 100 needles total in 10 different sizes.

Misuya needles have been produced in Kyoto, Japan since 1918. They are highly regarded for being strong but flexible, having a needle eye that is less prone to breaking and a smooth line from needle eye to point. The needles are polished in a way to allow the needle to more easily glide through fabric. Finally the needles are wrapped in aluminum foil to prevent damage.

The needles come in a beautiful wood box with a print of a woman in a kimono on the top. Inside you will find 10 paper packets containing 10 needles each for a total of 100 needles.

You will receive 10 needles of each of the following sizes:
