Reviews
"Have you ever had the buttons on tufted cushions come off?"
"By the way - order the waxed thread here/online; if you go to certain fabric stores *cough* starts with a J *cough*, they will tell you regular thread is what you need."
"I have not tried it with flowers yet, but I suspect it's a little too large diameter wise - at least for smaller flowers, but we'll see."
"I saw this pack included the needle I wanted plus three others and was significantly cheaper than the single needle locally."

Clover Tapestry Needle Set Chibi, Bent Tip
A darning needle set in a knitting needle shaped case. Contains 3 needles (no.
Reviews
"I used to have such a difficult time finding the end of my needle when I put it through yarn projects."
"What a big difference the slight bend in the tip of these tapestry needles makes in constructing a knitted garment!"
"I'm a knitter and I use yarn needles to graft, to splice, and to weave in ends and embellish. I recenly learned the Russian splice where you loop two ends and then feed one yarn back through its own plies."
"I saw this kind of needle used for weaving in the yarn tails on knitting projects on a YouTube video, so I decided to buy some."
"Well, as bent tip tapestry needles go, I actually prefer these two from Susan Bates, but it's great to have the little container that I can put on a string and hang around my neck along with my scissors and row counter."
"Love the container that keeps needles in place, easy to store without loosing them!"
"I NEVER KNEW THAT THESE WERE AVAILABLE....I HAVE CROCHETED FOR MANY YEARS AND FOR ALL THOSE YEARS I HAVE USED STRAIGHT ENDED NEEDLES TO DO ALL THE HANDWORK ON MY PROJECTS...THESE ARE WONDERFUL!!!!"
"These are considerably smaller than Chibi."

Best Sewing Sharp Needles

Hiya Hiya Sharp Interchangeable Needle Set- 5 inch tips: SMALL sizes
The 4 inch tips are in US sizes 2 thru 8 and included are 4 cables to make needles 16", 24", 32" and 40" long. Each set also includes a practical and portable brocade case and needle grips.
Reviews
"The cable also swivels within the barrel so the cable doesn't get twisted into loopy tangles. Whereas the join is smooth, sometimes the cable itself seems to have some rough spots, tho I'm not sure if this is a manufacturing problem or damage to the cable at some point."
"I took several knitting classes and the teacher recommended these, and also recommended the sharper "lace" tips."
"For those looking for GOOD interchangeable needles, try these."
"There are no tools for tightening the needles to the cables, hand tightening is sufficient, but there are rubber grip pads if they aren't tight enough."
"The needle sizes go from US 2 through 8 which is great for me since I needed the smaller sizes with various lengths of cord."
"I tried the 5" but found it was too big for the baby hats that I knit so I contacted the seller and returned these with NO HASSLES whatsoever."
"I also like the why they feel and, again, I like how thin the cables are, unlike others I've used which have thicker cables."
"For example when I started knitting I didn't know that you need different size needles for different types of yarn... Long story short I'm giving these needles 5 stars because after having them for a couple of months and using them frequently I am thoroughly impressed with the quality (they're still awesome, like the day they showed up) and the flexibility I have to work on so many different projects."
