They are packed in a reusable plastic sticking holder to keep them all aligned and placed in a kraft brown envelope wallet (100 x 65mm). There are between 2 and 12 needles in a pack depending on the size of the needles.

These needles have a large eye making them similar to \u003cb\u003eTapestry Needles\u003c\/b\u003e but longer. Yarn Darners \u0026amp; Knitters are the heaviest sub-variety in this class of needle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\"\u003eThere are 6 pack options of Darning Needles in this listing to offer a variety of size choices. Needle size is denoted by one or more numbers on the manufacturer's packet. The general convention for sizing of needles is within any given class of needle the length and thickness of a needle increases as the size number decreases.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eFor example, a size 9 needle will be thicker and longer than a size 12 needle. However, the needle sizes are not standardized and so a size 10 of one class may be (and in some cases actually is) either thinner or finer than a size 12 of another type. I think manufacturers do this just to confuse us… so a reminder is that, if you have a size relating to a needle diameter and length in one class of needle – don’t expect it to be the same in another class of needle! The #5 Yarn and the #6 Knitters needle is a good example of this as its wire gauge size falls into a sub-variety of the Darning needle class.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\"\u003e#1 Darning Short Size 1\/5 (x10)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\"\u003eThis pack has 10 Darning needles ranging from size 1 to 5.
