Leather Needles No. 3-7 Prym 131259

Leather Needles No. 3-7 Prym 131259

Looking at this needle set, you can immediately see what it's built for: six sturdy needles with a distinctive triangular point, ranging in size from no. 3 to no. 7. The metal has a clean shine and the points are sharpened sharp - exactly what you need to punch through leather and similar materials without struggle. Prym packages these needles neatly on a card, so you can see at a glance which size you need for your project.

What makes this needle different from a regular sewing needle

The secret is in the point. Where a standard sewing needle has a round point, the triangular point on these leather needles cuts through dense materials like a small blade without tearing or fraying. That's essential when hand stitching leather, because a regular needle would get stuck or damage the material. The graduated sizing from no. 3 to no. 7 in this set means you have the right needle on hand for every type of leather and thread weight. Thin, supple leather calls for a finer needle, while thicker leather or multiple layers at once need a sturdier needle.

Uses and projects

These leather needles come highly recommended for anyone working with leather or heavy materials. Think of:

• Hand stitching leather bags and wallets
