Prym Darning Needles - Long - Assorted

The 'long' designation refers to their extended shaft length compared to standard sewing needles, providing better grip and control when working with thicker yarns.

While they are long and sturdy, they are specifically designed for yarn and darning. For detailed embroidery with fine threads, embroidery needles would be more appropriate.

Each pack contains 10 long darning needles.

The pack includes needles in sizes 1 through 5, offering a range of diameters for different yarn weights.

They are best suited for mending and finishing knitted or crocheted items. For general garment sewing with finer threads, standard sewing needles are recommended.

The needles are made from stainless steel for durability and resistance to rust.

The sizes are typically marked on the needle itself or indicated on the packaging. Larger numbers usually correspond to larger needle diameters.

Ensure the yarn or thread is not frayed. For larger eyes, try twisting the yarn end slightly before inserting it.

These needles are designed for yarn; attempting to force them through very dense or tough materials may cause bending. Select a larger needle size or a different tool for such tasks.

Ensure the yarn end is smooth. Check the needle's eye for any rough edges; if present, gently buff with a fine-grit sandpaper or a metal file, being careful not to alter the eye's size significantly.
