Embroidery sewing needles are sometimes referred to as Crewel Needles. Embroidery needles are similar in length and diameter as a Sharp needle and they have a sharp point. However, they have a long, extra large eye, which makes threading the needle so much easier when using multiple strands of stranded cotton embroidery thread.
Sizes 1, 2, 3 and 4 are ideal when embroidering on heavy fabric with twisted yarn and this is often called crewel work. The most popular size and commonly used in embroidery is a size 7 however the finer sizes of 8, 9 and 10 are fabulous to use if you prefer a finer and shorter length of needle.
Having difficulty threading the needle! Then use an Embroidery needle for general sewing the long eye makes threading so much easier and quicker!

from United States on 05/02/2014 - Love these needles! They are great to stitch with, and don't leave marks in the fabric.
from United States on 02/08/2014 - My Favorite Needles I love these needles! It's nearly impossible to find packages of embroidery needles in a certain size, and even harder to find them at such a wonderful price!! I can afford to keep a threaded needle stuck in every floss bobbin, so I never have to rethread my needle every time I want to switch colors. I have occasionally found a needle with a very slight snag, but that happens with most brands, and is easily resolved by stroking the point across an emery board or nail file. Overall, these are wonderful needles.
from United States on 12/06/2013 - The only needles I use! I've practically become addicted to sizes 8 and 9 of John James embroidery needles! They're always sharp, very easy to thread, and not easily bent, which I often find in other needle brands. I always buy this brand--never any other. And, if you check around online, I don't think you'll ever find them at a lower price than at 123Stitch.com!!
