Clover Darning Needles with Latch Hook Eye, Other, Multicoloured, 2.02 x 8.35 x 14.7 cm

These needles were previously only listed on Amazon as being available from USA, but are now available from a UK supplier. The item is as described, and idea for threading multi-ply wool for darning, or repairing multi-tufted rugs of the type that are not knotted. however, the latch only swivels by about 45 degrees, so it is unsuitable for repairing a 'ladder' caused by a dropped stich in a knitted garment. This was a disappointment to me, as it would have made it more versatile.

As good as any others I've used

Well manufactured item. Purchased to thread twine through pork strips for hanging to dry. Identified from short list of needles, including those used by fishermen! Barely robust enough for this challenging task but it was a big ask. Happy to recommend for lighter tasks.

I have difficulty threading even a large darning needle so I was delighted when I found these needles and they are so easy to thread. However, my delight has waned as they unfortunately shred the wool after a few stitches. They are not suitable for use with wool but maybe alright with other threads. A great idea but not a product I could fully recommend.

These are so useful for thick and uneven yarns. It's a bit tricky opening and closing the latch, but practise makes perfect

Good needles for sewing up knitting or crochet

Good product. Delivery a bit slow but expected when coming so far.

As I can never see to thread my needles , this was just the needle I was looking for, could not be without them now, hope one day be able to get smaller ones for threading cotton .
