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

Beautiful cross-stitch needles Super fast delivery

not made in England as the ad states. quote from the package assembled ans inspected in England using needles imported by Entaco to our Quality and specification

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.

Im doing counted cross stitch projects and wanted to try these needles to compare them to those not plated in gold. As advertised, they slide through the Aida cloth very smoothly. They have proven to be stronger than the non-plated needles, which have bent after several uses. Some of the cheaper regular needles without the gold have had tips that have been cut off. These needles have smooth, finished ends which easily slip through the Aida. I have tried two brands of these gold-plated tapestry needles and both have been well worth the extra expense.

Nice needles

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.

Quality needles, I think they are worth the price.

Really sharp needles!

Top quality

I like to use the John James brand of needles for crossstitch. I have a habit of bending cheap needles as I stitch but that doesnt happen with this brand. Great product and so much better to stitch with.
