Description
Features:
- Bainbridge Sailmakers Needles - 10-Pack
- Assorted William Smith Green Label Needles
- Sizes: #14 - #18
- Needles are Hand-Made and Hand Polished for Ease of Use
- Hand Sewing Needles by W. Smith & Son are the best sailmaker's needles available
- Forged in England from cast steel with reduced edges, these needles also feature triangular points and sharp edges to cut through the fabric
- The sharpness makes it easy to pass through heavier fabric assemblies
- A long eye makes threading easier
- Sailmakers use triangular shaped needles to open larger holes in the fabric to cut down on chafe problems when a long length of twine is repeatedly pulled through
- Needles come in a waterproof tube, perfect for onboard storage
- Needle size increases as the number decreases
- The #16 needle is good for most work, but as a general rule use larger needles for sewing through many layers of fabric and smaller needles for seaming work
- Simply use the needle that yields the smallest hole without undue trouble
