🪡 Size Sewing Bead Embroidery Needles by Colonial Needle Review

After using beadwork needles for beadwork I decided to give these a try and I have had so many needles that were either broken or bent! I'm so glad I tried them because they hold up so much better! They're shorter than what I'm used to, but I've found I actually like them better!

Ball-point tip to avoid snapping threads, and size 12, so thin it fits 48-gauge canvas, and so durable for John James! Seller, please update the detailed item description to size 12 instead of size 10. I wasn't sure if I would actually receive it.
