Review on 🧡 Colonial Needle JJ698 28 Pointed Tapestry: Expertly Craft Touches of Elegance by Heather Shaw

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very fragile

Parcel received on time. The needles were in the original packaging. However, at the autopsy, a needle had already split in the eye. When working with Aida 28 and one string, the needle was the perfect gauge. The middle eyelet helps to sew very quickly. Three disadvantages: With such a small eye, a single cotton thread can tear. Thread conditioner helps alleviate this problem. Needles break easily! Until the last of three in 1 week. If you sew with a tighter grip on the needle, the needle will bend. This is not for everyday sewing.

Pros
  • Made in the UK
Cons
  • Piggy bank Price

These are too brittle at the eye. Broke all of them nearly instantly -- the metal is just to thin.
