Description
These needles are not blunt, like the bent-tip type. I use this style of needle to sew in the ends of my project, piercing the yarns on the back of the work, rather than going under the purl bumps.
This allows the microscopic scales of the wool fibers to adhere to each other, reducing the likelihood of ends popping out when you least expect it! I would also use these needles for darning.
