🧵 Colonial Needle John James Platinum Tapestry Hand Needles - Size 22, 2/Pkg: Superior Quality for Exquisite Tapestry Projects Review

Great product, I wish John James wouldn't discontinue the product. They do not cling to expensive threads and canvases. They will never turn your pins black like regular metal pins.

Because I'm allergic to nickel, I need a coated needle so my fingers don't break, chip, or bleed from the nickel. Gold plated needles are a problem because gold wears out very quickly. Platinum coated needles seem to retain their coating longer. I couldn't find a local source to buy these needles.

I'm in seventh heaven with these needles for needles. I embroider a lot with Gobelins and have different needles. They're so smooth, made in England and never tarnish. The size is perfect for any embroidery. I love the feel of them and the ease of putting them in tapestry cotton! Great price and absolutely brilliant needle!
