Temari Needles
FIVE Extra Long Darners #3 (2 3/4 inches long)
FIVE Extra Long Darners #1 (3 1/2 inches long)
The Edmar company has these needles made for them in Japan. They use them
for bullion knots in Brazilian embroidery. I have found them to be absolutely
the best needles for Japanese embroidery.
The gold eye makes it easy to thread. The point is extremely sharp so it
easily pierces the temari ball. The shaft is long and straight so it slides
through the ball like a dream. I use the #3 needle for stitching temari
balls 3 inches and under in diameter. For larger balls, I use the longer
#1 size.
