Bainbridge Assorted Hand and Sailmaker Needles - 10-Pack

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
