Tulip needles account for 90% of the total Japanese national production of sewing needles and are favoured around the world.
Needle Point: Smooth piercing enables easy sewing. It is the shape of the needle that, to some degree, determines your stitching. Tulip's needles, with the strength and durability of steel, are ideal.
Head: A quality eye prevents snagging. The ideal shape of this needle, along with its beautifully made eye, which is large and allows easy threading, are it's main features.
Body: Smooth and difficult to bend or break. This needle is a product of Tulip's highly detailed precision processing technology which makes use of state-of-the-art fields such as machine testing. The special processing and surface treatment has produced a body of ideal strength that is smooth. The needle is polished lengthwise in streaks to minimise the contact surface with the fabric.
