John James - Embroidery Needles Size 3-9

Embroidery sewing needles are sometimes referred to as Crewel Needles.  Embroidery needles are similar in length and diameter as a Sharp needle and they have a sharp point.  However, they have a long, extra large eye, which makes threading the needle so much easier when using multiple strands of stranded cotton embroidery thread. Sizes 3 and 4 are ideal when embroidering on heavy fabric with twisted yarn and this is often called crewel work. The most popular size and commonly used in embroidery is a size 7 however the finer sizes of 8 and 9 are fabulous to use if you prefer a finer and shorter length of needle.16 assorted size 3-9 needles per pack.
