From John James England, these needles have unusual triangulated cutting points to enable them to pass through tough materials without causing unnecessary abrasion. Ideal for use with finer leather, such as kid and sheep, where piercing the leather with the needle, rather than an awl, is more appropriate. Glover's needles are also ideal when working with other media such as suede and soft plastics. Packet of 25 needles for hand sewing; size 3.
