Size 6 Embroidery/Crewel John James 10E06

As a guide always remember the general rule – the bigger the number the finer the sewing needle.

Embroidery needles have longer eyes than needles used for plain sewing (sharps). They are medium length.

Size 6 is used for medium weight embroidery on plain weave fabric.

This needle accomodates three strands of stranded embroidery cotton quite easily.
