Hand sewing needles by John James

Embroidery sewing needles are sometimes referred to as Crewel Needles. Embroidery needles are similar in length and diameter as a Sharp needle and they have a sharp point. However, they have a long, extra large eye, which makes threading the needle so much easier when using multiple strands of stranded cotton embroidery thread.

Sizes 5 are ideal when embroidering on medium weight fabric. 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.
Having difficulty threading the needle? Then use an Embroidery needle for general sewing, the long eye makes threading so much easier and quicker!
