Description
These round-pointed needles are used for hand-stitched leather craftwork and harness/saddle repairs. We looked at several needle manufacturers and ultimately chose the one recommended to us by our main tool distributor. These needles are sturdy and straight, and their round points make them easy to use for leather hand sewing and save on band-aids for your fingers.
John James Needles is synonymous with the best of needle manufacturing, quality, and reliability, which traces its roots back to the company’s founding in 1840. Every needle is put through a 12-step manufacturing process and is individually inspected before being packaged from the main plant in Redditch, Worcestershire, Britain.
