DMC Chenille Hand Needles, Size 24 6/Pkg

Bought these to replace the needled I keep losing. They are sturdy, easy to use. I would buy these again and will when needed.

Used this needle with nylon thread to repair a backpack. Worked great. It's an outstanding needle. The king (or queen?) of needles. Good price and well respected amongst other needles in the needle community :-)

Came quickly. Nice big eye. Will order again.

So..I bought this item thinking that a "six pack" was one pack with six needles. Nope, I got six packs of six needles each! I had to sew together two very thick pieces of cording (think heavy duty backpack straps), and after much research, I decided that a Size 18 needle was the right fit. I don't know anything about sewing or needles. I bought these, some heavy duty thread, watched several videos on YouTube on how to backstitch, and got to work. It turns out that it's really hard to manipulate without a needle pusher, but I managed to get it to work. The needles were very sharp and that certainly helped. I had trouble making the backstitch look good, but that's because of my poor sewing skills and not the needles. At the end, I actually did a decent job and repaired what I needed to repair. I kept two packs for myself and gave 4 packs to my mom. Very, very happy with this item, and so happy I got 36 needles instead of 6.

Worked with janome

Worked for my purposes, and they appear to be uniform, and of good quality.

I use them to weave in my crochet tails and the tails stay more secure than when I used a tapestry needle and I don't have to weave in as much to secure the yarn.

Used these to sew size 3 yarn into felt, which worked great.

I have just used one, it has a sharp point and a big eye.

Strong needles easy to thread

Great quality and nice feel when sewing

I thought I was ordering cross stitch needles size 24- which usually have a dull point but when they arrived these needles have a sharp point and say they are Chenille needles. Not sure what Chenille is but they are not really suitable for cross stitch.

Arrived exactly as you see it and pkgd safely
