Our take on the John James Bent Tip Needles
A three-needle set of John James steel weaving needles with bent (cranked) tips, made for raffia and flat woven work. The bent tip lets you pick up and pass under warp strands without turning the needle. The set is assorted sizes, so one pack covers several gauges. At $11.77 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, it is the only new price listed, so there is no recent range to compare against.

Questions and answers
- What are bent tip needles used for?
- They are weaving needles for raffia and flat work. The cranked tip lets you pass under warp strands without rotating the needle, which speeds up basket, bag and coiled projects.
- What sizes are in the set?
- The set is assorted sizes across three needles. Check the listing for the exact gauges if you need a specific size for your weave.
- Are these the same as tapestry needles?
- No. Tapestry needles are straight with a blunt tip. These are cranked for weaving, so the tip angles to reach under strands.
- Do they work with yarn as well as raffia?
- They are made for raffia and flat materials. Thick yarn can work, but fine yarn is better served by straight needles.
- Is $11.77 a good price?
- It is the only new price listed as of November 5, 2026, at eBay, so there is nothing cheaper to compare it with. For a three-needle John James set it is a modest outlay.
