Sewing Needles

Sewing Needles for Every Project

Needles are the small but essential tool in any sewing basket, and our haberdashery range covers hand sewing needles as well as machine needles for different fabric types. Whether you're repairing a hem, finishing a quilt or working on a stack of garments, you'll find the right needle thickness and point type here. We keep a wide assortment in stock, so both hobby sewers and professional workshops can order exactly what they need. Needles ship quickly from our Tilburg warehouse, together with the rest of your haberdashery order.

Hand Sewing Needles

Hand needles come in various lengths and eye sizes, suited to different tasks. A fine needle works well for delicate fabrics like silk or chiffon, while a sturdier needle handles denim or canvas without bending. Embroidery needles have a larger eye for thicker threads, and darning needles are longer for repair work on knitwear. Having a bunch of needles in different sizes on hand means you're never stuck mid-project looking for the right one.

Machine Needles

For sewing machines, the needle type needs to match the fabric you're working with. A ballpoint needle glides between knit fibres instead of piercing them, which prevents runs in jersey or stretch fabrics. A universal needle covers most woven cottons and blends, while a jeans needle has a stronger shaft for denim and heavier layers. Using the correct needle reduces skipped stitches and broken threads, and it extends the life of your machine.

Sizes and Materials

Needle thickness is usually indicated by a number, running from fine to heavy-duty. Thinner needles suit lightweight fabrics such as voile or lawn, while thicker needles are made for upholstery fabric or multiple layers of denim. Most needles are made from hardened steel, which keeps the point sharp through repeated use. We stock a range of thicknesses so you can match the needle to the fabric rather than the other way around.

Ordering and Availability

Needles can be ordered per set, making it easy to stock up without overbuying. Prices stay sharp across the range, whether you're a home sewer picking up a single pack or a workshop ordering in bulk for regular use. If you're also finishing garments with closures, take a look at our Zippers YKK selection, which pairs well with needles for full garment repairs and construction.

Choosing the Right Needle

A well-chosen needle makes stitching easier and keeps your fabric looking clean, without snags or pulled threads. Our needle selection covers hand sewing and machine work, in sizes suited to everything from fine silks to heavy denim. Browse the assortment to find the needles that match your current project, and reorder confidently once you know which type works for your fabric.
