1. Understanding Hand Needle Sizes
The basic rule for hand needles is that the the number, the smaller and shorter the needle. On the hand a smaller number means the needle is thicker and longer which is good for heavy work.
At Swastik Needles we make our needles with steel that does not rust easily. This way our needles are flexible and strong at the time.
2. Different Types of Needles
- Crewel Needles
These needles are also known as embroidery needles. They are special because they have eyes that are shaped like ovals. This makes it easy to thread strands of embroidery floss or thicker threads without tangling.
We sell these needles to factories that make clothes and home textiles.
- Darner Needles
These needles have eyes and sharp tips. They are good for mending clothes and working with materials. For example they are great for darning with cotton yarn.
We sell these needles to textile repair shops and clothing manufacturers.
- Heavy-Duty Needles
Some buyers need strong needles for heavy work like basting and layering fabrics. Our Bell Darners 3½ are very popular for this kind of work. They are 89mm long. Have a thick 1.2mm wire diameter.
- Between Needles
These needles have eyes and are shorter than regular sharp needles. They are stiff. Give artisans a lot of control.
We sell these needles to people who do embroidery, custom tailoring and precision quilting.
- Sharp Needles
These needles have eyes and sharp tips. They are very versatile. Can be used for many different tasks.
We sell these needles to people who do sewing and packaging.
3. Buying Needles in Bulk
When you buy hand sewing needles in quantities you should not just look at the price. You should also make sure the manufacturer packages the needles properly to prevent damage during shipping.
You should also look for a manufacturer that follows quality standards, such as ISO 9001:2015 certification.. It is good if the manufacturer can supply needles to different types of customers from small shops to big textile factories.
