Chenille Needles
Description:
- Chenille needles are large eye needles and are identical to a Tapestry or a Cross Stitch Needle in length and in diameter. However, the Chenille point is sharp, rather than round and blunt and is used in the art of crewel embroidery and ribbon embroidery.
- Chenille needles are originally used for a chenille work. They are now ideal for stitching coarse materials using thick yarns.
Material: Steel
Finish: Nickel and Gold Plated
Pcs/Pack: 10needles
Size: Assorted sizes which could be customized.
Size Guide:
- As a general guide, needle sizing is referred to by its wire gauge number. The lower the number the thicker the needle.
- A pack of 3/9 would be an assortment of needles ranging between size 3 and 9.
- A pack of size 8 would be all needles in the pack the same = size 8.
- Size 8 is quite a thin diameter needle compared to a size 3.
- Use Sharps size 2, 3 and 4 for general sewing on medium to heavy fabrics. These sizes have a larger eye and therefore are easier to thread. Sharps in size 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are the most popular within the sharp family and they are commonly used for general sewing on light to medium fabrics.
- Select the needle size according to the weight of the fabric. It is better to choose the eye which is 40% bigger than the thread diameter, otherwise the thread will start to break.
