High-quality long darning needles perfect for repairs to all sorts of woven (non-stretch) fabrics.
 
The longer length makes it easier to darn larger holes and create long straight lines of stitching.
 
These needles have an elongated eye for stitching with slightly thicker thread and a semi blunt point to avoid snags when weaving through fabric.

darning, patching or repairs using a Speedarner/Speedweve.

hand sewing with up to 6 strands of embroidery floss or Sashiko thread (dependent on needle size).

Strong darning needle (No.2/0) - similar to a Sashiko needle which makes it suitable for repairs to medium-heavy weight woven fabrics like denim or corduroy.
