Obviously there are other brands and types of needles and wool for needlepoint. This is intended as a guide only. Because Spiral Eye Needles thread through a slot in the side of the eye, the actual eye can be much smaller than when you need to get the frayed end of the wool into a traditional eye. It is hard to compare them to each other for this task.
