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.

Size 1 are ideal when embroidering on heavy fabric with twisted yarn and this is often called crewel work.
