I bought these for pine needle baskets and they are just right.

These are great. They can be used with thicker fabrics (e.g., backpack webbing, etc.) with ease.

These were perfect for our craft (wool felt hand warmers) at the Library -- big enough eyes for us mature crafters, and we didnt have to use the threaders!

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 dont 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 its 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 thats 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.

Perfect for weaving in yarn tails on my crochet projects.
