These John James embroidery needles have sharp points and a longer eye which makes them ideal for threading stranded cotton floss. This is the standard needle included in our hand embroidery kits and my go-to for all projects.
 
The size 5 embroidery needles are 41.5 mm in length x .76 mm in diameter.
 
John James needles are made in England, and are double copper-plus-nickel plated to prevent tarnishing and provide for a smooth stitching experience. The bundle options is a great tool to have on handle for a variety options without worrying about the long lead time of overseas shipping.
