Hand sewing needles are the tool every repair starts with. Inside the pack are 16 pieces. The material is steel.
Anyone sewing different fabrics keeps several sizes ready and swaps, rather than attempting everything with one. Cutting the thread short and pulling it smooth threads faster than a frayed end ever will. Needles belong in dry, sorted storage; loose in a drawer they corrode and are never the one being looked for. These notions fit any sewing drawer and come to hand quickly. Prym has made sewing notions in Stolberg for generations.
What Prym Nähnadeln lang Nr. 1- 5 121296 is suitable for
- Darning and mending
- Sewing on buttons and trims
- Work at the sewing machine
Frequently asked questions
Which size should I pick?
The fine one for cotton and silk, the strong one for denim and coat fabric. An assortment in the box takes the decision away, because the right size always lies alongside.
When do I change the needle?
As soon as it snags, pulls threads or asks for more force than before. At the machine one more rule: after every larger project, since a blunt point punches holes instead of piercing.
How should needles be kept?
In a wallet, a case or on a cushion — sorted, and out of reach of children. Loose needles in a drawer are usually found with a fingertip.
Are they good for embroidery too?
Embroidery needles have a larger eye and often a blunt point so they run between the threads. On counted work that is the difference between pleasure and struggle.
