Needle In A Haystack
                - Needles


For many of the needles we carry we can special order larger quantities. Both John James and Bohin sell some types and sizes of needles in 1,000 pks. We purchase the Bohin Tapestry and Chenille bulk needles (as well as their #10 short beading needles) and package them ourselves in 10 or 25 needle packages. If you are doing an event and need a large needle purchase contact us to see what is available.

You'll find several lists on this page and each list has its own Add Button. So just scroll down to the botton of the needle type list and use that button to add the items you need to your shopping cart.

Beading Needles
Vendor Description Price Quantity
Bohin  Bohin Bead #10 Short
Bohin Beading Needles - Size 10 Short (15/pk)

While these are used primarily as beading needles they are great for stitching on fine count linens such as the 50 and 52/64 count fabrics we sell or even silk gauze. They are sharp however vs. blunt like the John James Tapestry pointed beading needles.

See below in the Embroidery section for a thinner option for fine count fabrics.

Tulip beading needles are more expensive, but are worth it if you do a lot of bead work. They flex but don't stay bent as many others do. They are what serious beaders use and are great for needlework beading as well.

Bohin  Bohin Textile Repair Needle
Bohin Textile Repair Needles - Size 12 (6/pk)

Bohin Textile Repair vs. #10 beading needle
#12 needle on top, #10 Short beading needle on bottom.

This is a very fine needle for costume repair work where you want to take tiny bites out of fabric. But it works great as an embroidery needle for high count fabrics like 46 count and above linens for counted work or embroidery. You will need a VERY fine wire threader for these, none of the steel ones will work. Look below in the Threaders for the Ultra Fine Threader and the Clover Double Wire Threader.

Sullivans Easy Guide Ball-Tip Needles

These needles have a ball-tip on the end to help you find the holes in the fabric and not split threads in either the
fabric or your stitching threads.  They are not a Tapestry needle as they do not have the elongated eye.
 It's more like a large eyed embroidery needle.

They are sized like a tapestry needle but are really one size larger. So a Ball-Tip #28 is more like a
Tapestry #26, Ball-Tip #26 like a Tapestry #24 and Ball-Tip #24 is like a Tapestry #22.

John Jame Easy Threading Needles

John James Easy Thread closeup

These needles have a slot in the top where you slide your thread down
into the eye, vs. threading it like a normal needle.
It means the eye is smaller than a normal tapestry/cross-stitch needle since it's split into two sections.

Threaders

Threaders    Puffin Company Threaders

Check out our YouTube Channel for a tutorial on how to use all of the threaders.

May 2018 update - the Loran Threaders are now being made from a thinner metal so while they are still sturdy, they no longer grab onto a magnet as reliably due to the thinness of the metal. Two will hold onto a magnet better than 1. Neither the wire threader nor the Muriel have any steel in them to grab a magnet at all (both are made from aluminum). So while we're not thrilled with the thinner Loran Threader, it's still the best option for a plain threader. The Puffin Company threaders come with magnet on the decorative portion.
