Bookcraft ~ blunt needles

These needles are found more suitable for use by many craftspeople in situations where thread is being passed through a pre-drilled hole. The awl is most suited to piercing papers and similar materials. When a thread is passed through a hole in which another thread is already doing its work there is a danger of piercing the first thread. This makes subsequent tightening and adjustments impossible, and rectifying it involves some tedious unpicking and re-threading. The less sharp needles are less likely to cause this small bother.

They are available in small, medium, and large sizes.
