Cohana have created a jewel-like needle minder from Sabae, the city of eyewear.
Crafted from the finest materials and polished by hand, this tool catches the light like a small gemstone. The built-in magnet securely holds your needle while your work. Can also be worn as an attractive brooch.
Made from cellulose acetate, a plant-based resin derived from cotton and high-purity pulp, it’s gentle on the skin and unlikely to cause irritation. Also used in fine eyewear, it offers a perfect balance of comfort, durability, and natural elegance.
Each piece is hand-polished to a soft lustre and clear finish. With its unique pattern, no two are alike—making it a thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gift.
A timeless pattern with meaning, the ichimatsu checkered motif, with its alternating squares in a continuous flow, is a symbol of prosperity, growth, and enduring success—an auspicious design cherished in Japanese culture for generations.
To use:
・Simply sandwich your fabric with the included backing magnet to easily attach it inside your embroidery hoop.
・This prevents needles from getting lost and allows for smooth, easy needle placement and retrieval during your work.
・Just 4g, so will not weigh down your embroidery.
Size 1cm x 1cm x 1cm. Comes in a presentation box.

I’ve bought all issues bar one of Tauko (sportswear wasn’t my bag) and can find at least two patterns I’d like to try from each edition. From Tauko No17, I like Sukaria and Dia and the piece on pin tucks by Raphaëlle Bonamy was extremely helpful so shall try this technique. I’m always delighted with the service from Beyond Measure and am very happy to order from this brilliant business in the North.
Daruma Yokota Sashiko Thread Fine colours are beautiful and the thread lovely to work with. Good price and delivery. Really pleased with my purchase.
