Colonial Needle John James Gold Tapestry Hand Needles, Size 26 3/Pkg

I have found that the gold plated needles last twice as long and dont pull at the material. I will be ordering again!

Super quality. Have been using DMC regular and gold plated. Unfortunately those I bought in the last month from a store were very poor quality. Have they started to put out inferior needles?? They were so bad that the floss would break when I pulled thru the eye and I could barely shove my threader thru the eye--the inside of the eye was very rough. So I bought these and they were very nice. Just like dmc used to be. They are smooth, the floss slides thru the eye nicely. These are my go to needles from now on.

Easier to see and thread and also where I live a hard to find size

I have used these needles for 40+ years. I prefer the gold ones. They work thru fabric smoothly

Favorite cross stitch needles

I did not receive what was pictured. Yes, they are John James needles, but the wording Made in England is not on the package. The package I received does not match the photograph on the description. This is deception.

Top quality

Best needles on the market.

Two of them three needles broke within hours of receiving them.

I’ve had a couple eyes break on these already while cross stitching. For what these cost I’m not pleased. I’ll try a different brand when the last few I have give way.
