1. Sharps are needles with medium length for ordinary sewing.Sizes 5-7 are for tacking while sizes 8-10 are for hand sewing -depending on the fabric. The higher the number, the finer the needle. But the most useful sizes are 6, 7, 8 and 9
2. Betweens are needles of shorter length. These needles are available in sizes 1-10. The larger the number the finer the needle.
3. Crewels or embroidery needles have large long eyes for easy threading of embroidery thread. This should be preferably used by beginners in the lower classes. They are made of steel in different sizes as are the sharps and betweens.
4. Darning needles are longer than other needles and have large eyes. They are used for easy threading of wool. It is good to purchase a mixed packet of darning needles for coarse work and for fine work.
5. Bead needles are very fine needles for sewing on beads and sequins. Choose good quality needles in assorted sizes and store in a container with a little talcum powder to prevent them from getting rusty. Needles in use should be put on a pin cushion
