Cross stitch needles are used for techniques that use fabrics with open holes that determine where stitches are placed such as Aida or canvas. This is because you want a needle that will pass smoothly through the open holes rather than piercing the fabric. The long eye also makes it easier to thread with embroidery threads.
 
DMC needles are synonymous with the very best of needle manufacturing, quality and reliability. We use best quality nickel plated steel which offers excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion.
