Milward darning needles are thick needles with a blunt tip. They feature a large eye, making it easy to thread (thick) yarns. The blunt tip pushes the material aside during stitching without damaging it, making these needles ideal for tapestry and cross-stitch embroidery, as well as for sewing knitted or crocheted garments together. The needles are made of steel and are available in various sizes.
