Five different coloured tins. One considered collection. Most hand sewists accumulate needles gradually - a tin of sharps here, some embroidery needles there - and end up with a drawer of partial packs in no particular order. The SOHMO Needle Collection is the solution: all five Japanese-made needle types, each in their own distinctively coloured sliding-lid tin, assembled into a complete and properly organised needle kit in one go. The five different coloured tins sit beautifully together on a shelf or in a sewing kit, look genuinely considered, and mean you always have the right needle for the job - whether that's threading a quick hem, working a bullion knot, stitching EPP hexagons, or running thread through canvas for a button repair. Each needle tin contains 20 needles. Here's what each type does: Sharps Needles - the standard hand sewing needle. Fine, sharp, and versatile for general mending, hemming, and everyday hand stitching. Embroidery Needles - crewel needles with a long eye for multiple strands of embroidery floss. For surface embroidery, cross stitch, slow stitching, and botanical embroidery. Milliner Needles - long, slender needles with a uniform shaft diameter. Essential for smocking, pleating, hand gathering, bullion knots, and English paper piecing. Easy Thread Needles - self-threading needles made in Japan. Press the thread into the slotted eye and it clicks into place. For anyone who finds standard needle threading a challenge, or just wants to get started faster. Tapestry Needles - blunt-tipped needles with a large eye for working through canvas, evenweave fabric, and open-weave textiles without splitting threads. For needlepoint, tapestry, and weaving in ends when knitting. Australian Beeswax - pure, unbleached, and naturally honey-scented. Run your thread across it before stitching to reduce tangling, prevent fraying, and help thread\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOHMO","offers":[{"title":"Australian Beeswax + Easy Thread Needles + Embroidery Needles + Milliner Needles + Sharps Needles + Tapestry Needles","offer_id":48749749502208,"sku":"SHMNEED","price":94.7,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/1708\/7744\/files\/f81235bef0a29646158df8a6e72f2c7347daaab217392298814c6b87a97a1834.jpg?v=1779409958"},{"product_id":"sohmo-embroidery-needles-japanese-made-crewel-needles-pack-of-20","title":"SOHMO Embroidery Needles — Japanese-Made Crewel Needles, Pack of 20","description":"SOHMO Embroidery Needles - 20 Needles in Sliding Tin\n\nHand embroidery needles made in Japan - because the needle matters as much as the thread.\n\nIn embroidery, the needle is the tool that determines how smoothly your session goes. A needle that drags, bends, or leaves the eye rough against floss is a needle that interrupts your rhythm. SOHMO Embroidery Needles are made in Japan from nickel-plated steel - a manufacturing tradition that prioritises finish, consistency, and the kind of smooth passage through fabric that experienced embroiderers notice immediately.\n\nThese are crewel needles: the standard needle for most hand embroidery work, characterised by a sharp point and a long eye that accommodates multiple strands of embroidery floss or thread comfortably. The long eye is the detail that matters most here. It makes threading straightforward, reduces friction on the thread as it passes through, and allows you to work with 2, 3, or 4 strands without the eye cutting into or shredding the floss over time.\n\nWell-suited to embroidery on cotton, linen, and evenweave fabrics, these needles handle the full range of hand embroidery techniques: surface embroidery, crewelwork, cross stitch, needlepoint, slow stitching, and botanical embroidery. At size 7 gauge (0.69mm diameter, 38.1mm length), they sit in the mid-range - fine enough for detailed work, substantial enough to carry multiple strands without bending.\n\nPacked in a compact pink sliding-lid tin - 20 needles, ready for the embroidery hoop.\n\n * \nNeedle size: 20 needles, 0.69 x 38.1mm (7 gauge)\n\n * \nTin size: 60 x 34 x 13mm\n\n * \nWeight: 15g\n\n * \nMade in Japan, packed in Australia\n\n * \nStore in a dry place\n\nAlso known as: embroidery needles, crewel needles, hand embroidery needles, Japanese embroidery needles, long eye embroidery needles, needles for embroidery floss, cross stitch needles, slow stitching needles, needlepoint needles, needles for multiple strands, embroidery needles Australia, needlework needles, surface embroidery needles, botanical embroidery needles\n","brand":"SOHMO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48749750255872,"sku":"SHM032","price":15.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/1708\/7744\/files\/4e1c0bc9a530d7c8d46b8a79b70b12e2016f38d4da8071cdaef509f04ea3de7f.jpg?v=1779409995"},{"product_id":"sohmo-easy-thread-needles-self-threading-sewing-needles-made-in-japan","title":"SOHMO Easy Thread Needles - Self-Threading Sewing Needles Made in Japan","description":"SOHMO Easy Thread Needles - 20 Needles in Sliding Tin\n\nThreading a needle shouldn't require a steady hand, good lighting, and a small miracle.

Simply press the thread down into the open slot at the top of the eye and it clicks into place. That's it.\n\nMade in Japan from polished, nickel-plated steel, these are properly made needles - 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.

Four sizes, made in Japan, in a tin that fits in any sewing kit.\n\nSharps are the standard bearer of hand sewing needles. Medium length, a fine round eye, and a sharp point that passes cleanly through most woven fabrics. They're the needle most sewists reach for first, and for good reason. Whether you're hemming a garment, hand-finishing a seam, repairing a tear, attaching a button, working a running stitch, or doing any of the hundred small hand sewing tasks that come up in a life of making, a sharp needle is what you need.\n\nSOHMO Sharps are made in Japan by a manufacturer with over 100 years of needle-making experience. Ten precision processes go into each needle, and the result is a needle that is consistently smooth, sharp, and strong. Nickel-plated steel with a gold-plated eye for easier threading and a finish that glides through fabric without catching.\n\nThis tin contains 20 needles across four sizes - a practical assortment that lets you match the needle to the fabric and thread weight rather than making do with one size for everything:\n\n * 7 gauge (0.69 × 38.10mm) — the largest in this tin. For heavier fabrics, thicker threads, or anyone who prefers a slightly easier-to-handle needle \n * 8 gauge (0.61 × 36.50mm) — a good all-rounder for medium-weight wovens, cotton, and linen \n * 9 gauge (0.53 × 34.90mm) — finer, for lighter fabrics and more delicate hand finishing \n * 10 gauge (0.46 × 33.30mm) — the finest in this tin. For lightweight fabrics, fine thread, and detailed work where a larger needle would leave a visible hole \nFive of each size per tin, enough to always have a fresh needle to hand.\n\nPackaged in a compact sliding-lid tin, the same format as all SOHMO needle tins, small enough for a travel kit or sewing box, secure enough to protect the needles between sessions.\n\nCare: Do not leave needles in projects for extended periods.

Originally made for scientists. Adopted by sewists.\n\nEntomology pins were developed for scientific specimen mounting - the precise, delicate work of pinning insects, butterflies, and botanical specimens for study and display without causing damage. That same ultra-fine spec - a 0.45mm stainless steel shank, barely thicker than a human hair - turns out to be exactly what sewists have been looking for when working with fabrics that ordinary pins simply cannot handle.\n\nAt 0.45mm in diameter, SOHMO Entomology Pins are significantly finer than standard dressmaking pins (typically 0.6mm or more). On silk, organza, chiffon, tulle, lace, fine cotton lawn, and other sheer or loosely woven fabrics, that difference is visible in the results: no snag marks, no distorted weave, no pin-sized holes left behind. They glide in and out of delicate fibres as though they were barely there.\n\nThe resin head makes them easy to grip and spot against fabric, a practical detail that matters when you're working with fine, light-coloured materials where a headless pin would disappear entirely. At 38mm long, they give you enough shaft to work with while remaining lightweight and unobtrusive in the fabric.\n\nFor entomologists, natural history hobbyists, and anyone mounting insect or botanical specimens: these are the standard stainless steel entomology pin used by collectors and scientists, packaged in a practical reusable tin rather than the foam blocks typically found in laboratory supply catalogues.\n\nPackaged in a bright yellow sliding-lid tin - 100 pins, ready for the sewing room or the specimen board.\n\n * \nPin size: 38mm long x 0.45mm diameter\n\n * \nTin size: 80 x 55 x 16mm\n\n * \nWeight: 30g\n\n * \nQuantity: 100 pins\n\n * \nMade in China, packed in Australia\n\n * \nStore in a dry place\n\nAlso known as: entomology pins, entomology pins for sewing, ultra-fine sewing pins, super fine dressmaking pins, pins for silk, pins for organza, pins for chiffon, pins for delicate fabrics, specimen mounting pins, insect mounting pins, butterfly pins, bug pins, lacework pins, fine sewing pins, 0.45mm pins, stainless steel entomology pins, haberdashery pins Australia\n","brand":"SOHMO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48821526855936,"sku":"SHM018","price":15.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/1708\/7744\/files\/d4fb94b6e5ff7be329552c1c87bc233d02c0cd72359f092d80fd12917e1ddc01.jpg?v=1781088145"},{"product_id":"sohmo-milliner-needles-japanese-made-long-hand-sewing-needles-4-sizes","title":"SOHMO Milliner Needles - Japanese-Made Long Hand Sewing Needles, 4 Sizes","description":"Long, slender, and sharp to the tip - milliner needles for hat making, smocking, pleating, and a surprising range of other hand sewing tasks.\n\nMilliner needles, also known as straw needles, were originally developed for hat makers who needed a long, fine needle that could pass through multiple layers of straw and fabric without bending. That same length and slenderness turns out to be exactly what's needed for a wide range of hand sewing techniques that have nothing to do with hats.\n\nThe characteristic that defines a milliner needle is its uniform diameter along the full length of the shaft, unlike sharps or embroidery needles, the shaft doesn't taper toward the eye. This makes them ideal for techniques that involve wrapping thread around the needle: smocking, pleating, hand gathering, and bullion knot embroidery all benefit from a consistent shaft diameter that lets the wraps slide off cleanly. They're also a favourite for hand tacking, basting, and English paper piecing.\n\nMade in Japan from nickel-plated steel, SOHMO Milliner Needles come in a pack of 20 covering four sizes - from the finer gauge 9 for delicate work to the more substantial gauge 3 for heavier fabrics and multiple layers. The four-size assortment means you have the right needle for the task without needing to buy multiple packs.\n\nPackaged in a compact sliding-lid metal tin - easy to store, easy to carry, and worth keeping.\n\nCare note: Nickel-plated needles should not be left in projects for prolonged periods.
