DMC embroidery needles are made for hand embroidery, cross-stitch and stitchery with stranded cotton and other embroidery threads. This mixed pack includes sizes 5–10, giving makers options for fabric weight and thread count. The needles have sharp points and medium-to-long eyes for threading multiple strands, with premium-grade nickel-plated steel construction. Store dry and choose a needle size that passes cleanly through the fabric without stretching holes.
