Chenille embroidery needles with a sharp point are suitable primarily for silk embroidery and all fine embroidery. The needles are made of absolutely burr-free hardened steel and have a symmetrically punched eye. For easy threading of wool or thicker yarns embroidery needles need a correspondingly large eye. The finely honed tip and the smooth coated surface of the needles allow them to glide effortlessly through any material. A balanced ratio of length and strength gives the needles their good use flexibility.
