DMC darning needles are long hand needles for mending and reinforcing garments, socks, and other textiles where you need to span stitches and reach through layers. This pack provides assorted: 5 needles (one each 14–18) in sizes 14–18, with needles measuring about 2–2½ in (51–64 mm) long. Match needle size to your repair thread, and keep needles clean and dry between uses so they stay smooth for repeated repairs.
