Needle Minder – Sabae Acetate

Sabae quality. A spark of elegance in your craft

Story

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.

Comfort for every crafting moment

If you’ve ever lost a needle mid-project (who hasn’t?), you’ll love this.
A needle minder is a handy tool that temporarily holds your needle in place while you’re embroidering.

・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, and your embroidery cloth stays tight.

Crafted with care—for creativity that lasts

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.

Vivid Mosaic
Inspired by the seasons and kimono layering, the pattern features rich colors with a blend of classic style and playful charm. Each piece has a unique color combination that adds warmth and character.

Classic Mosaic
Like traditional Japanese candies (bekkō-ame) or aged wood, the warm translucency and soft glow create a nostalgic, calming presence in your workspace. Their soft translucency and nostalgic warmth invite quiet moments of creativity and a feeling of connection to something beautifully made.

One-of-a-kind value, born from the material’s natural beauty

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 luster and clear finish. With its unique pattern, no two are alike—making it a thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gift.

More than just a tool, this handcrafted piece doubles as a brooch to add a touch of elegance to your everyday look.

A heartfelt gift for someone special

The calm colors and glossy texture create a memorable look, even in a small size. Its simple design makes it a great gift for anyone.
