Description
Hand Sewing Needle #17 by Osborne has a triangular point and a long eye for easy threading. Sailmakers use a triangular shaped needle to open a rather large hole in the fabric. This cuts down on chafe problems when a long length of twine is repeatedly pulled through.
Needle size increases as the number decreases. The #16 needle is good for most work, but as a general rule use larger needles for sewing through many layers of fabric and smaller needles for seam work. Simply use the needle that yields the smallest hole without undue trouble.
Needle length: 2-1/4 inches

Reviews
great deal and value
Everything I needed to create an outhaul slide in one order.
I have used these needles for years and they are great.
I have not used these needles so far as I'm using a curved mattress needle for my gazebo cover repair.
#17 sewing needle is a stout needle
I used the needle to sew the twine though the rope. It is a stout needle, so I used a board to push it through, I got the job in no time flat.
Needles were fine except one of them came with the eye smashed closed making it unusable.
