DMC Embroidery Needles 1765/3 – Sizes 5–10, Pack of 16

A mixed pack of 16 DMC embroidery needles covering sizes 5 through 10 — the finer end of the range, suited to detailed embroidery with 1–2 strands of stranded cotton. Embroidery needles (also called crewel needles in sizes 5 and 7) have a sharp point that pierces fabric cleanly and a long eye wide enough to thread with stranded 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. This pack leans toward the finer sizes (7, 9, and 10), making it a good match for delicate work, single-strand outlining, and detailed filling stitches. Size 10 is the finest embroidery needle DMC makes. If you need larger sizes for heavier thread loads (3–4 strands or wool), the 1765/2 (sizes 3–9) pack includes those.
