Tools: needles
Someone asked in the comment section what type of needles I use. Here they are: Nr 9 needles, only kind I use, in general. I might use extra long needles for basting very thick cloth, but basically I can do anything from handpicking to basting to felling to padding with these sharps.
They look old, don’t they? Well they are, probably went out of production in the 60′s. But the funny thing is that they are better to work with by leagues, than the needles that are commonly sold nowadays. To be fair, they might have a little roughness on the point at first use sometimes, but that’s nothing that an ultra fine wetstone can’t fix.
It’s like with my shears: something about the way things used to be made in the past, is just? gone from? our time.? I’m lucky, there is a shop here in Holland where I can still buy these old guys. Nah, I won’t tell you where
