Why Tulip Needles Cost More

Tulip needles are more expensive than standard beading needles because they are made with
exceptional Japanese craftsmanship. Unlike mass-produced needles, each Tulip needle goes through
dozens of careful steps to ensure quality and consistency. The result is a needle that:

• Slides effortlessly through beads and fabric thanks to a highly polished finish
• Protects your thread the smooth eye wont snag or fray delicate threads
• Bends without breaking providing flexibility for tight beadwork
