DMC embroidery needles are sharp-point hand needles for surface embroidery, crewel work, and detailed stitching on woven fabrics. This set includes 16 nickel-plated steel needles in sizes 5, suited to DMC Mouliné Spécial floss, Coton Perlé, and Diamant metallic thread for clean penetration and steady tension. The long eye and smooth finish make threading easier and help reduce snagging as you stitch and pull through the fabric.
