P121297 Prym Sharps hand sewing needles are made of hardened steel and have a burr-free embossed eye. Their fine and sleekly-polished tip shape, along with the smooth and non-porous, coated surface, can slide well through all fabrics. The attuned spring firmness ensures smooth operation without bending and breaking. The needle head can be inserted, even without a thimble. The sharps hand sewing needles are approx. 7 mm longer than the corresponding betweens needles and are used for all conventional sewing work. Many consumers prefer the sharps needles due to their better grip. Betweens needles are often selected by experienced users for more elaborate sewing work and are popular due to their faster puncturing speed. 121297 silver col gold eye 0.50 20pc
