- What are bent-tip darning needles used for?
- They are for darning holes and weaving in yarn ends. The bend lets you angle the needle through tight stitches, and the large eye takes thicker yarn.
- Will these work with thick yarn?
- Yes. The large eye is made for a range of yarn weights, including bulky yarns. Very fine yarn or sewing thread will slip through too loosely.
- Are the tips sharp?
- No. They are blunt darning needles, so they push between stitches rather than piercing fabric or yarn fibers.
- How long are the needles?
- Each needle is about 2 3/4 inches long, with a 2.50 x 70 mm size. The short length keeps them handy for small, close work.
- What is in the set?
- Two needles of the same color, made of steel. They come in a small case.
- Do they work for crochet finishing?
- Yes. Crocheters use them to weave in ends and join pieces, since the big eye handles worsted and bulky yarns.
