Smartisans carries six packs from four makers: Clover's package of eight in four sizes and its long package of three, Bohin's assortment of eight, Lecien's hidamari set of six with a needle threader, and Olympus needles in a 4-pack and a 2-pack. Each pairs with Olympus sashiko thread and a sashiko thimble.
