Chenille needles are useful for thicker threads, fine yarns, and ribbons especially when you are stitching on smooth fabrics that need to be pierced. They are an excellent choice for ribbon embroidery because their sharp point makes a hole in the fabric that is large enough that the ribbon doesn’t get damaged or worn as it passes through the fabric.

DMC Chenille needles come in sizes 18-24, the smaller the number the larger the needle so a size 24 chenille needle is the finest we sell.

DMC needles are synonymous with the very best of needle manufacturing, quality and reliability. We use best quality nickel plated steel which offers excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion. Our premium needles are packaged in high quality resealable packs so you can keep them clean and safe between uses.
