- These hand needles can be used for cutwork, smocking, heirloom sewing and more. They are identical in thickness and length to sharps, but have longer eyes for convenient threading of multiple threads, pearls or floss.
- Same as sharps with long eyes for general purpose sewing, embroidery and crewel

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.
