DMC Embroidery Needles 1765/2 – Sizes 3–9, Pack of 16

A mixed pack of 16 DMC embroidery needles covering sizes 3 through 9 — a broad assortment for general surface embroidery with stranded cotton. Embroidery needles (also called crewel needles in sizes 3, 5 and 7) have a sharp point that pierces fabric cleanly and a long eye wide enough to thread with multiple strands of floss. The sharp tip is what separates them from blunt tapestry needles: where a tapestry needle passes between the threads of an evenweave, an embroidery needle punches through the fabric itself — essential for techniques like satin stitch, stem stitch, backstitch, and French knots on plain-weave fabrics. The size range in this pack suits 1–4 strands of DMC Mouliné Spécial, Diamant metallic thread, or Coton Perlé 5–8, with the larger sizes (3 and 5) handling heavier thread loads and the smaller sizes (7 and 9) suited to finer detail. If you work mostly with 1–2 strands or need the finest sizes, the 1765/3 (sizes 5–10) pack covers that range.
