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 16 needles in each pack size.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMilliner Needles… \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003ealso known as\u003cb\u003e Straw Needles \u003c\/b\u003ehave a sharp point and are long thin needles with very little expansion at the eye. Popular for Embroidery work when working with close weave cloth or deep hoops. However, these needles are most commonly used for \u003cb\u003eBasting, Pleating and Millinery work\u003c\/b\u003e. They are extremely useful in making bullion knots since they are straight up and down and do not get fatter at the eye, thus making them easier to pull through a bullion knot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\"\u003eThere are 2 pack options of Milliner 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!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\"\u003e#1 Milliner Straw 3\/9 (x16)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\"\u003eThis pack has 16 Milliners needles ranging from size 3 to 9.
