Ballpoint hand needles have a slightly rounded tip that slides between knit loops rather than cutting fibres, helping to prevent runs and skipped stitches. Assorted sizes 4–8 suit a range of jerseys, stretch knits and synthetics for hemming, repairs and soft-structure garments. They are a practical choice for lounge and activewear alterations and for hand finishing seams on knit projects. Choose size and needle type to suit fabric weight and thread.
