DMC 1768-18 Chenille Hand Needles, 6-Pack, Size 18, Blue

Perfect size for what I need.

So..I bought this item thinking that a "six pack" was one pack with six needles. Nope, I got six packs of six needles each! I had to sew together two very thick pieces of cording (think heavy duty backpack straps), and after much research, I decided that a Size 18 needle was the right fit. I don't know anything about sewing or needles. I bought these, some heavy duty thread, watched several videos on YouTube on how to backstitch, and got to work. It turns out that it's really hard to manipulate without a needle pusher, but I managed to get it to work. The needles were very sharp and that certainly helped. I had trouble making the backstitch look good, but that's because of my poor sewing skills and not the needles. At the end, I actually did a decent job and repaired what I needed to repair. I kept two packs for myself and gave 4 packs to my mom. Very, very happy with this item, and so happy I got 36 needles instead of 6.

Just wahat I needed for my crochet finishing

Love these! They are so much better than any other that I have tried. I would buy again.

Used this needle with nylon thread to repair a backpack. Worked great. It's an outstanding needle. The king (or queen?) of needles. Good price and well respected amongst other needles in the needle community :-)

Good quality, Just what I wanted.

I use them to weave in my crochet tails and the tails stay more secure than when I used a tapestry needle and I don't have to weave in as much to secure the yarn.

I have no idea how to review these. I got them for a project I'm doing. I am sewing Fiber Optic lights into a tactical backpack using Kevlar thread. The needles fit the tread and are wicked sharp. I know understand what a thimble is for...LOLThey poke through the backing and tough material of the pack just fine and I will finish the project having just used one needle. So if any of my team like the results of this project, I will steer them towards these needles and the Kevlar thread.
