Bohin Chenille Needles Size 18

Bohin Chenille Needles Size 18 are high-quality hand sewing needles designed with a large eye and a sharp point, making them ideal for embroidery, crewel work, ribbon embroidery, and stitching with thicker threads or fibres.
Chenille needles are similar in length and diameter to tapestry or cross-stitch needles, but feature a sharp tip rather than a blunt end.
This sharp point allows the needle to pierce tightly woven fabrics with precision while accommodating heavier threads, wool, or ribbon through the enlarged eye.
Manufactured by Bohin in France — a needle maker since 1833 — these needles are crafted for smooth stitching, strength, and durability.
They are designed to glide through fabric cleanly without bending, breaking, or damaging thread.
