An absolute must for any sewing kit.
These Pony design needle threaders makes it super easy to thread your needles, saving you both time and frustration!
If you are new to sewing, or you just aren't sure which needle you need, grab a pack of these assorted household needles and try each one out for size until you find a needle that works for you.
The needles are assorted in size, length and sharpness, all with a gold anti-tarnish eye.
The nitty gritty
The pack contains the following:
Chenille pointed needles whose size can be quickly identified with their colour-coded eyes.
Chenille needles are very similar to tapestry needles, but they have a sharp tip.
'Certain Stitch' needles have been developed to give consistent stitches, the band of colour on the needle shaft helps to create stitches which are evenly spaced and of a consistent length.
Crewel sewing needles have an anti-tarnish gold eye which is nice and slippy and easy to thread. They are sharp with a longer eye to enable easier threading of embroidery threads.
