【About Misuya Bari (Needle for Japanese sewing)】 1] Tip of Needle Its tip has minute (unobservable) angles, not so sharp as to sever filament but meticulously made to loop through it. 2] Surface Very fine vertical lines are added in the process of polishing, which will reduce friction when Needle goes through filament, smoothly knitting the cloth used (with no aluminizing). 3] Hole of Thread Round holes are mainly adopted for threads used not to be jammed or severed. Its hole is thinner than its trunk; with a thread, the hole will be as thick as the trunk. 4] Strength Its tip is rather solid; parts around the hole are rather soft; its trunk is resilient with unique heat processing. Therefore, “Misuya Bari” has a good resilience, satisfying the condition for best Needle that ‘when bended, it'll curve for a second and be snapped'. 5] Finishing Artisans take each of the finished products on their hand to inspect its tip, hole, bend, solidness and whether it has any scar for copper-processing, one by one.
