Schmetz Stretch Twin Needle 2.5/75 (130/705 H-S ZWI)

You'll recognize this Schmetz twin needle right away by its familiar white packaging with the red flip-top and blue lion as the quality mark. In the photo you can clearly see the two thin needles side by side on a shared shaft, spaced 2.5 millimeters apart. The package shows the needle against soft lilac knit fabric, exactly the kind of stretchy textile this needle was made for. A small but essential tool if you regularly work with stretch fabrics.

What is this material

The Stretch Twin has a rounded point instead of a sharp one, so the needle glides between the fibers of elastic textiles without damaging them. That prevents holes and ladders in fine tricot and jersey. The special shaft is designed to prevent skipped stitches, a common problem when sewing stretch materials. With size 75/11, this needle works well for light to medium-weight stretch fabrics. The package contains a single needle, packaged in Schmetz's recognizable protective plastic case.
