Tulip – the Queen of Needles! These outstanding needles are made in Japan, and are considered a premium brand of beading needles! Island Cove offers them in sizes 10, 11 and 12. What makes the Tulip brand so special?
Susan Sudnik, a fan of the Tulip Needle, says they’re “easier to thread and feel better in your hand” than traditional needles. “They bend, but have memory and spring back to their original shape. All serious beaders use them,” she claims.
Sue Lennon prefers the size 10 Tulip needles. She explains, “ordinary needles would bend after multiples passes through a delica bead, but the Tulip 10 recovers nicely.” Sue believes Tulip needles “are a must-have for any detailed beader” and are a great tool for bead embroidery and soutache projects as well.
The final features of the Tulip needles that makes them so special are its eye and point. The eyes are designed to make threading easy and the tips are ever so slightly rounded to avoid splitting the thread. We are excited to stock these special needles at Island Cove.
You’ll receive a pair of 2 Tulip #12 needles.
