SOHMO Easy Thread Needles - Self-Threading Sewing Needles Made in Japan

Threading a needle shouldn't require a steady hand, good lighting, and the planets to align. These make it simple.

SOHMO Easy Thread Needles are self-threading needles - designed with a specially slotted eye that lets you thread without a needle threader, without squinting, and without the three attempts it usually takes. Press the thread down into the open slot at the top of the eye and it clicks into place. That's it.

Made in Japan from polished, nickel-plated steel - smooth, sharp, and well-balanced in the hand. The Japanese manufacturing matters here: needle quality is difficult to see and easy to feel, and these glide through fabric the way a well-made needle should. Suited to everyday mending, hand sewing, sewing on buttons, hemming, and any quick-stitch task where you want to get started without fuss.

A fabulous gift for anyone who sews - particularly those who find standard needle threading difficult due to low vision, arthritis, or simply the lighting in the sewing room at the end of the day.

20 needles in three sizes, loose in the tin rather than mounted on card, covering light to medium-weight fabrics:

• 5 gauge (0.89 x 42.6mm) - 6 needles. The largest in the tin, for heavier thread and medium-weight fabrics.
• 6 gauge (0.76 x 37.9mm) - 7 needles. A versatile mid-size for everyday hand sewing and mending.
• 7 gauge (0.71 x 36.4mm) - 7 needles. The finest in the tin, for lighter fabrics and finer thread.

Packaged in a compact sliding-lid tin - the same format as all SOHMO needle tins, sized to fit in a project bag, sewing basket, or beside the machine.

Care: Do not leave needles in projects for extended periods. Nickel plating may corrode in humid or coastal environments. Store in a dry place.
