1 1/4 " T-Pins (32 mm) .35 oz. (10g)
#20 T-Pins Ø 0.76mm ( 0.030")

Package of 10 grams of 1 1/4 " Steel T-pins, packed by weight, usually contains about 60 T-pins. The thin diameter is perfect for micro macrame. Made in Malaysia.

Personal note - I use these T-pins for pinning my work to the board for my micro macrame work. I found the steel T-pins to be the only one that do not bend with repetitive use. This size is not always available in local stores and is the perfect size for working with C-Lon and Nylon #18. The T-pins usually sold in stores for micro macrame are the 1 1/2" ones and their diameters are too large for fine work!

1 3/4" T-Pins (45 mm) .35 oz. (10g)
#28 T-Pins Ø 1.15mm ( 0.0455")

Package of 10 grams of 1 3/4" Steel T-pins, has about 18 pins. Made in Malaysia.

Personal note - I use these T-pins for pinning cords, large elements such as gemstone donuts or to keep large groups of thread out of my working area. Either size works as the diameter is the same.

Personal note - Long, thin needles, usually used for beading small diameter beads with thin thread such as C-Lon Bead Thread Size D & AA!

BEAD EMBROIDERY NEEDLES

Package of 4 needles. Blunt ends. 2 size 10, 2 size 12. Designed for bead embroidery, so shorter than the standard English bead needles. Works well with C-Lon Bead thread size D and AA. Made in England.

Personal note - I prefer blunt ends over the regular English needles. The blunt ends lowers the likelihood of splitting the thread when going through the beads multiple times!

BIG EYE BEADING NEEDLES

Package of 6 assorted needles. Easy to thread, work from either end. Made in China.

Personal note - No need of a threader!

GRIFFIN TWISTED WIRE BEADING NEEDLES
These needles are made out of twisted stainless steel wire, making them strong, yet flexible. They are a good choice for working with pearls, gemstones beads or beads that are somewhat irregular or have curved holes. Made in Germany.

Fine - Ø 0.24 mm / 0.00945 inch

Personal note - Match the size to your thread... One pack will last a long time!
