Our take on the John James Darning Needles

John James darning needles are a 7-needle steel set in sizes 14 to 18, made for mending socks, knits and other yarn goods. The needles are sharp with larger eyes, so thicker yarn threads easily and the point works through dense knit fabric. At $1.90 at LindeHobby.com as of November 5, 2026, the set is a low-cost add-on rather than a considered purchase.

Questions and answers

What sizes are in the John James darning needle set?
The set has 7 needles in assorted sizes 14 to 18. Size 14 suits finer yarn and 18 suits thicker darning yarn.
Are these needles sharp or blunt?
They are sharp yarn darners, not blunt tapestry needles. That makes them good for dense knit fabric but means you should ease them through stitches to avoid splitting yarn.
What yarn can I use with them?
The larger eyes take standard darning and sock yarn. Very thick bulky yarn may not fit through the smaller sizes.
Is $1.90 a good price for this set?
Yes. At $1.90 at LindeHobby.com as of November 5, 2026, it is the lowest of the three stores listing it new, and a 7-needle steel set rarely costs much more.
How many needles come in the pack?
Seven needles, one each across the 14 to 18 size range.
