Vintage Sewing Needles - Darners
We found these sewing needles when we were cleaning out the warehouse and we thought; "They're so nicely wrapped! We'll have to get them out to the store."
"Darners" usually belong to the stronger category of sewing needles. They are a longer than regular sewing needle, with an elongated eye and were originally intended to stop knitted fabrics. However, that is not their only purpose. They are available in longer versions and are therefore also effective for riding, at least in the thinner sizes.
Because we do not know where they were originally bought from or how long they have been with us, we cannot guarantee that we will get them again or can find the sizes we do not currently have in stock. So if you want to be sure to own a pair of these, make sure to get them before they are sold out!
When it comes to needles, remember that the larger the number, the thinner the needle. And vice versa, the smaller the number, the thicker. A size 10 needle, for example, is one of the finest needles we have, while a size 0 is usually thick and strong.
