Bohin Tapestry Hand Needles-Size 26 6/Pkg

These embroidery needles are very good quality, especially for cross stitching, and they have a smooth glide through fabric, good eye size, and sharpness. They are durable, don’t discolor, especially if your hands start to get clammy. By far the best needs to cross stitch with and great value for a 6ct.

Fantastic needles, but sadly one was missing from the package. Amazon promptly sent a replacement package. These are very good needles! I have a platinum-plated needle from around 1980 that was the best I had ever used. The Bohin needles are equal, if not better. The point is smoothly rounded, but not dull. The eye is narrow, but it is easy enough to thread. It doesn't bulge out and distort your fabric. Definitely recommend! You don't want to lose these! Get a good magnetic case or a screw-top tube to store them in. Keep them on a bit of fabric and put a dessicator packet in the case.

Great quality. Smooth glide. Has not snapped like cheaper brands

Great for x-stitch and easy to thread.

Love these! Bought several packs now. If you are into cross-stitching, specially on linen, nothing compares.

Size 26 needles are a good length and quality durability. I always use them!

These needles are far superior to DMC, John James, and other tapestry needles I've used over the years. I try to use Bohin needles whenever possible as they glide through the fabric without snagging and do not break as easily as the more cheaply made DMC. The points are the perfect amount of bluntness whereas John James points are too blunt and are more difficult to use with precision and are even sometimes difficult to push through the fabric. My needles arrived on schedule and in perfect condition.

These were my first brand when I started back into embroidery. I like them, they are a good value for the money. They stay sharp, are easy to thread and easy to use. The size is perfect for my needs doing embroidery painting which is a finer more intricate style. I use the Bohin as well as Tulip brand.
