Thread a needle with sashiko thread, run the point in and out along the printed or marked line, and load several stitches before you pull through. Olympus makes its sashiko needles in several sizes so you can choose one for the job: a longer needle holds more stitches on each pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmartisans carries all six sashiko needle packs in the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sashiko-needles\"\u003esashiko needles\u003c\/a\u003e collection, along with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/olympus-sashiko-thread\"\u003eOlympus sashiko thread\u003c\/a\u003e in 22-yard skeins and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sashiko-thimbles\"\u003esashiko thimbles\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStitching Olympus samplers, preprinted cloth, and coasters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrying four lengths to find the one that suits your hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePairing with Olympus sashiko thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFit and Limits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlympus publishes the length of each needle but not its thickness.
