The Needle Lady’s exclusive
Notice the shape of the eye, too. Not a circle. Not even an oval. This rounded-corner rectangular shape makes room for thread so you can thread it easier than a similar size needle by other manufacturers. Made of 100% surgical grade stainless steel (420). These needles are ten polished smooth and shiney so they glide through your material.
PONY brand stainless steel needles
PONY needle manufacturers is a multi generational family run company and their needles are world known for quality. PONY made this set of stainless steel needles specifically for The Needle Lady, because of the growing demand for nickel free needles. Nickel in jewelry, especially earrings, has created a growing sensitivity to nickel. You get six needles in this set. Made in India.
Are you allergic to the metal in earrings?
Have you ever noticed your fingers itch after you sew?
Or that your eyes get red when sewing (from rubbing your eyes with those same itchy fingers)?
You may be one of the millions of people allergic to nickel. Maybe you even know you are allergic to nickel…because you cannot wear cheap jewelry without getting irritation.
Well, most sewing needles are nickel plated. That means the time you spend sewing using traditional sewing needles is exposing you to an allergen.
Traditional sewing needles are made with nickel-plated iron which tends to be brittle and will snap and break. 100% stainless steel needles never rust and are more flexible under pressure. And hypoallergenic.
