Crafty Glovers Needles for Leather, Suede and other similar materials

These Glovers repair needles are made from high quality hardened steel and nickel plated for a super smooth finish. They are packed in a reusable plastic sticking holder to keep them all aligned and placed in a kraft brown envelope wallet (100 x 65mm). There are 5 needles in this pack. 

Leather Needles also known as Glovers and as Wedge Needles ~ these needles have a triangular point designed to pierce leather without tearing it; often used on leather-like materials such as suede, vinyl and plastic.

Needle size is denoted by one or more numbers on the manufacturer's packet. The general convention for sizing of needles is within any given class of needle the length and thickness of a needle increases as the size number decreases. For example, a size 9 needle will be thicker and longer than a size 12 needle. However, the needle sizes are not standardized and so a size 10 of one class may be (and in some cases actually is) either thinner or finer than a size 12 of another type. I think manufacturers do this just to confuse us… so a reminder is that, if you have a size relating to a needle diameter and length in one class of needle – don’t expect it to be the same in another class of needle!
