Hand Sewing Needles: Crewels: Gold Eye: Size 8

Description

A reliable hand-sewing needle from Pony, the Size 8 Gold Eye Crewel needle is made from metal with an anti-tarnish gold-plated eye that glides smoothly through fabric and makes threading noticeably easier. The eye is longer than that of a standard sharp, so it accommodates multiple strands of embroidery thread or thicker yarns without fuss.

Crewel needles are primarily an embroidery and hand-sewing tool, ideal for crewelwork, cross stitch, and general needlework. Knitters and crocheters will also find them useful for sewing up seams or weaving in ends with thicker yarn, where a longer eye is a genuine advantage.
