DMC Beading Needles 1764 – Sizes 10/12, Pack of 6

A mixed pack of 6 DMC beading needles in sizes 10 and 12 — the two standard sizes for stringing beads and beadweaving. Beading needles are much finer and longer than regular embroidery or tapestry needles, with a sharp point and a narrow round eye that passes through the hole of small beads without jamming. Size 10 is the thicker size and works with most standard seed beads (size 6/0 and larger); size 12 is finer and longer, designed for smaller beads (size 11/0 and petites) and for threading through multiple beads in sequence. These needles can also be used to attach beads and sequins to cross stitch or embroidery, but their length and fineness make them prone to bending or snapping when pushed repeatedly through fabric — if bead embellishment on fabric is your main task, shorter bead embroidery needles will hold up better.
