Assorted Needles in Haibara Chiyogami Pack by Cohana
Needles are supple yet durable, and manufactured in Hiroshima, a city with a 300-year history of high-quality needle production. Rigorous quality control ensures unified thickness and length of needles, and their ability to pierce cloth with ease.
The package is specially made with Haibara Chiyogami. Chiyogami is a traditional Japanese paper with patterns printed on it. Haibara is a traditional Japanese paper company, which has commissioned illustrators and artists of the time to create original designs for their Chiyogami through their 200-year business history.

about our fabrics
For the past 12 years, we've been experimenting and refining our processes to work with the best natural fibers available. We select our materials for their durability, comfort, aesthetic properties, and the conditions in which they were produced. We prioritize suppliers located near our workshop. Many of our jerseys and knits are made in Canada, while some woven fabrics come from the United States. For more specialized materials, we work with Japan and certain European countries (mainly Italy and northern countries). It is essential for us to ensure that workers' conditions are fair, and the best way to be sure is to choose countries that have a charter of individual rights that resembles ours!
