Embroidery sewing needles are sometimes referred to as Crewel Needles.
Embroidery needles are similar in length and diameter to a Sharp needle and they have a sharp point. However, they have a long, extra large eye, which makes threading the needle so much easier when using multiple strands of stranded cotton embroidery thread.
The finer sizes of 8, 9 and 10 are fabulous to use if you prefer a finer and shorter length of needle.
Do you have difficulty threading a needle for general hand sewing? Then use an Embroidery needle, the long eye makes threading so much easier and quicker!
