Glovers Hand Sewing Needles

Crafty Easy Thread Sharps Needles

These Easy Thread needles are made from high quality hardened steel and nickel plated for a super smooth finish. 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 6 needles in this pack.

Easy Thread Sharps style needles… these needles do not have a totally closed-eye like all other needles. They have a V shaped slot at the top of the needle which allows you to place your thread in the slot and with a gentle amount of pressure the thread will pass through the ‘bump slots’ and into the eye of the needle. The ‘bump slots’ prevent the thread slipping back out during use.

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. For 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!
