Mary Corbet has been using Tulip's Hiroshima needles from Japan and finally wrote up a review of them. Mary's review is mixed and perhaps not totally pertinent to us as she is stitching on fabrics, not needlepoint canvas. If you have hand pain, though, it might be worth trying, particularly if you can get friends to go in on a purchase of a box you can share to test.

If you want some to try, Nimble Needle in Atlanta carries them.

So does Bedecked and Beadazzled in Maryland although they are not on the shop website.

UPDATE: Needlepoint.com has added a review of Tulip needles to their website.

I love Tulip needles! I've been using them for a while now and find that they last longer than other needles. We carry them at the shop where I work, Waste Knot Needlepoint in Arlington, VA. I think we have sizes 20-25, but there could be another in there. Anyway, I wholeheartedly endorse them.
Good to know, SL. Do you have Tulip beading needles? I've been wanting to try those….
the link you put in for Nimble needle is not the New Jersey store, it is the Nimble Needle in Atlanta.
Good catch, Fox! Thanks!
