Vintage Needle Packets |
Look at these fun vintage sewing needle packets which my Aunt Hazel had in her sewing collection. In each of these fun themed packages you get lots of sewing needles. These packets of 60 to 100 needles feature gold eye needles, silver eye needles, rust proof and nickel plated. The packets also come with a needle threader, something I can't live without. I'm not going to run out of needles anytime soon.

Not sure what the difference is between hand sewing needles and sewing needles.
