Long Darning Needle - Size No. 2/0
This strong needle is similar to a Sashiko needle which makes it perfect for repairs to medium-heavy weight woven fabrics like denim or corduroy.
It has a large eye for stitching with thicker thread e.g. 4-5 strands of embroidery floss, and a semi blunt point to avoid snags when weaving through fabric.
The longer length makes it easier to darn larger holes and create long straight lines of stitching.

Made in Normandy, France in the historic BOHIN factory.
