Two long darning needles perfect for repairs to all sorts of woven fabrics.
 
This set of high-quality needles includes:
 
1 x strong darning needle - similar to a Sashiko needle which makes it sutiable for repairs to medium-heavy weight woven fabrics like denim or corduroy. 
1 x fine darning needle - ideal for repairs to light - medium weight woven fabrics like a silk dress, cotton shirt or linen trousers.
 
Both needles have an elongated eye for stitching with slightly thicker thread e.g. 2-4 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.
Bohin needles have an exceptional polish for smooth glide through fabric and a fine point to minimize holes. The eye is polished with a unique process to minimize breaking thread and the needles have maximum strength with minimum bending.
