Lace Darning Needle Set by Clover.
This versatile needle set contains three fine darning needles – two with bent tips – in a convenient carry case.
Needle sizes included: 20 (bent tip), 22 (bent tip), 24.
The smallest needle is suitable for darning thin jersey fabric, e.g. T-shirts, merino activewear and thin machine-knit socks. The larger needles have bent tips – handy for darning mesh running shoes, furniture and other awkward-to-mend objects.
These yarn-friendly darning needles are also useful for grafting and sewing up seams on machine-knit clothing, as the blunt tips prevent yarn from splitting.
Features:
- large eyes accommodate mending yarn and other yarns needed for darning
- blunt tips prevent accidental splitting of yarn
- convenient carrying case with a screw-on cap stores needles neatly
-
brightly coloured case makes it easy to find in any mending kit (blunt-tip needles don’t fit in pincushions so need to be stored another way)
- carry-case cap has a loop so you can attach it to a necklace or piece of string, for travel or long darning sessions
Steel needles are made in Japan and packaged in polypropylene, polystyrene and polyethylene plastic by the manufacturer (one hard plastic screw-top case and clear plastic sleeve).
