Threading a needle doesn't have to be fiddly. These easy threading hand sewing needles from John James feature a specially designed slotted eye, allowing you to push the thread down through the opening at the top rather than trying to pass it through a conventional needle eye. Sometimes known as Calyx Eye needles, they're particularly useful for anyone who struggles to thread ordinary sewing needles, whether due to poor eyesight or reduced dexterity.
This handy assortment of six English needles is ideal for everyday hand sewing, mending, repairs and general needlework.
