content: 3 needles, handmade by Japanese craftsmen and purchased by the donor in Kyoto in 1966. Each has a flat head with a large round eye. The pointed end is round with a sharp point. The flat head passes more neatly through the weave of the ground fabric, protecting both the fabric and thread from fraying. The large eye accommodates thicker twisted threads.
