DMC 1765-5/10 Embroidery Hand Needles, 16/pkg

Product Information

I do plastic canvas and I assume that embroidery is kind of like that except on cloth and using so many needles. They are used primarily for counted thread work (cross stitch, blackwork) and needlepoint, or any needlework on fabric or canvas that has open holes that determine where each stitch is placed. Although there might be a soft noise as the rest of the thread passes through the fabric, there should not be a loud zipper noise.

I always look on Needle n’ Thread when I start a project to see what type of needle I need for my current project and I’ve used most of the above needles for all different types of embroidery, Crewel needles for general embroidery, Milliner for bullion and french knots, I’ve used tapestry needles for whipping and laced embroidery and chenille needles.

The most popular sizes used in embroidery are size 7 and 9, that's why we recommend this set from Hemline. I recently bought some and discovered that the hole was too small for ANY kind of thread I could find in my stash! They have a smooth, gold plated eye that is larger for embroidery threads and they come packaged in a small corked storage phial inside a stylish box. I just finished collecting all the required needles for my new little Jane Nicholas stumpwork project.

You will need to be at the provided address to hand over the parcel, and there is a charge for this service. The type of needle you choose for your embroidery project depends on what type of embroidery you’re doing, but for those who embroider a lot, there are five categories of needles that you should have on hand. The needle should be able to pull the thread (including the doubled thread near the eye) through the fabric fairly easily, without allowing too much abrasion on the thread as it passes through the fabric. I think 10/2 is the classification for pearl cotton yarn that’s used in weaving, etc – it’s more of a “yarn” than the pearl cotton used in embroidery, which is three ply and a little sturdier, so it holds up better when passing through fabric. The bottom number of the fraction was adopted as the “gauge” and so 1/16″ became 16 gauge, 1/20″ became 20 gauge.I have arthritis, so I need a strong needle, 3 inches long (so I can grab it), a nice sharp point, and I need it thick enough not to bend, but thin enough to make the little stitches.

I had been taught that needle sizes run from large to small 1- x and thread sizes from small to large. The most popular size and commonly used in embroidery is a size 7 however the finer sizes of 8, 9 and 10 are fabulous to use if you prefer a finer and shorter length of needle.
