Product description
Short Wool Needles for Repairing Knitwear

What is a wool needle
A wool needle differs from an ordinary sewing needle in its eye: it is long and wide, so thick wool yarn passes through it without fraying. The needle body is thicker, so the yarn doesn't catch as it moves between the stitches.
Common uses
Repairing holes in sweaters, scarves and socks.
Joining the pieces of a knitted garment.
Weaving in yarn ends at the end of knitting or crochet.
Embroidery with wool yarn on coarse fabric.
Craft projects with thick yarns.
Who it's for
Knitters and crocheters, anyone who mends woolen garments, knitting classes and crafters. For wholesale orders: phone 03-9444226 or WhatsApp 055-2473993.
Pro tips
Choose a needle whose eye matches the thickness of the yarn, not too wide.
When weaving in ends, pass between the stitches, not through the yarn itself.
Repair a small hole right away, before it unravels.
Common mistakes
Using an ordinary sewing needle for wool yarn. The yarn doesn't fit through the eye or gets worn.
Pulling hard when joining pieces. The seam puckers.
How this model differs
