Needles & Needles in Bulk
Quality hand-sewing needles from the world's finest makers
We carry a carefully curated selection of needles and bulk needle packs from Bohin, John James, Piecemaker, and Mary Arden. French-made Bohin needles are widely regarded as the finest hand-sewing needles available — highly recommended by designers and instructors for their exceptional polish, smooth glide, fine points that minimize fabric holes, and eyes polished with a unique process to reduce thread breakage. Maximum strength, minimum bending.
If you haven’t tried Bohin needles yet, we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Needle Types — A Quick Guide

Chenille — Medium length with a long, oval eye and sharp point. Excellent for thicker threads, crewel wool, and silk ribbon embroidery.
Crewel / Embroidery — Medium length with a long, oval eye and sharp point. Identical in size to Sharps but with a longer eye for easier threading with embroidery floss. Ideal for surface embroidery and smocking.
Darners — Extra-long with a long eye. Used for darning, mending heavy materials, and doll making.
Milliners / Straw — Extra-long with a round eye and sharp point. The eye is no wider than the shaft, making them perfect for bullion knots, Brazilian embroidery, and beadwork.
