Product Information
Full details
The Hemline Wool & Yarn Plastic Needles are designed for hobbyists and knitters who need a reliable, snag-free way to sew knitted garments together. These needles provide a smooth, lightweight solution for joining seams or weaving in ends, though users should be aware that their plastic construction is best suited for yarn rather than high-tension heavy fabric projects.

FAQs
Can these be used with sewing machines?
No, these needles are designed specifically for hand sewing and knitting assembly, not for use in sewing machines.
Are these needles sharp?
No, they feature a rounded, blunt tip to ensure they slide through knitted stitches without piercing the yarn fibers.
What sizes of yarn work best?
They work well with almost all common yarn types, from fine sport-weight wool to thick, bulky craft yarns.
Are these needles flexible?
Yes, they offer slight flexibility, which helps when navigating tight corners or seams in your knitting.
How many needles come in a pack?
Each pack contains two plastic needles.
Troubleshooting
Yarn keeps slipping out of the needle eye
Ensure you are using a slightly longer tail of yarn through the eye, or knot the yarn securely before starting your assembly.
Needle tip feels blunt after heavy use
Plastic needles can develop rough edges; use a fine-grit sandpaper or a nail file to gently smooth the tip if it catches on your yarn.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Hemline needles, simply thread the wool through the large eye; if the yarn is thick, fold the end slightly to feed it through. These needles are compatible with most standard knitting yarns ranging from lace weight to bulky wool. To maintain the life of these tools, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources that could warp the plastic. If the needles become sticky or accumulate fiber residue, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry.
