Since the rounded tip does not penetrate the fibers but pushes them aside, blunt-tipped embroidery needles are particularly suitable for embroidery work with coarser materials such as wool.
The needles with the symmetrically punched eye are made of hardened steel and are completely burr-free.
For threading coarser yarns or wool, the eye on embroidery needles is correspondingly large.
The balanced ratio of length and thickness gives the needles their good usability elasticity.
