SailMakers Needle

-No. 17

Length: 56mm

Smaller size for finer stitching and whipping.

SailMaker's needles have a triangular point and an elongated eye.

They are designed for hand stitching through sailcloth, heavy canvas, and leather, plus all kinds of seizing and whipping jobs aboard a sailing vessel.

The triangular point minimises the punch hole in fabrics by working through the weave not cutting it.

The eye will take up to 1mm using a threader

Ideal for whipping rope to canvas or neatening a splice

Made in the UK

Manufactured by hand by forging high-quality carbon heat-treated steel with a nickel finish.
