Steel Needle for Yokobiki Kanoko Shibori wool The tubular cloth is pushedTraditional Yokobiki Kanoko tool for Arimatsu artisans. A special sharp hooked steel needle is embedded (with pine resin) at the end of the metal arm. The arm can be attached to the Shibori Stand (SFS shop item) or make a wooden stand stabilized with a base and a large C Clamp on a table. If and when the steel hooked needle is broken you can send it back to SFS, we have resin and a spare needle to replace it. Artisans use the yokobiki binding thread
