Embroidery Crewel No. 3-9 Prym 125542

Embroidery Crewel No. 3-9 Prym 125542

On the trusted blue Prym card you'll find sixteen fine crewel needles, ranging in thickness from No. 3 to No. 9. Each needle has a slender, polished shaft with a sharp point and an elongated eye that's designed to thread embroidery floss or multiple strands at once without snagging. The needles are neatly sorted by size in the packaging, so you always have the right thickness on hand for each project.

What are crewel needles

Crewel needles, also called embroidery needles, are hand needles with a sharp point and a relatively large eye. That larger eye makes threading embroidery floss, wool, or multiple threads together much simpler than with a regular sewing needle. The sharp point allows the needle to glide smoothly through woven fabrics without damaging the fibres. Since this set comes in multiple sizes, you can choose the right needle for each fabric type and thread weight, giving you tight, even stitches every time.
