Needles – Size 4 Crewel Embroidery – Richard and Hemming
Needles – Size 4 Crewel Embroidery – Richard and Hemming
$3.93 USD
The size 4 crewel embroidery needle is used in my Jacobean Crewel embroidery kits.
The kit comes with one needle but you may want to purchase more of the needles in case you mislay your needle.
The needle has a long eye for easier threading, a slender shaft and a sharp point to the needle so that the stitches can be worked close together and there is more control for the placement of the stitches.
