Question 1

What is the guage (diameter) of these needles

Accepted Answer

The diameter of these needles is .02 inches and the diameter of the eye portion is .03 inches as measured by caliper tool.   Hope this helps!  You're welcome to see these needles at the All Points Yarn shop in beautiful Des Moines, WA, too!   Thanks for your question, Morgan  allpointsyarndotcom.

Question 2

Can this be used to stitch thick denim fabric?

Accepted Answer

The doll needles are longer and heavier than standard sewing needles.  That being the case, if you wish to go through a layer or two of denim, that will  work pretty well.  Better is to consider the eye of the needle and the difficulty of getting the needles through 4 layers or more of denim...this is a very difficult thing to do with shorter needles, so perhaps these would work fine:  longer, better leverage, and thus more stitches successfully made.   There is a larger, longer still, set of doll needles, available in a set of 5 different lengths, etc., however I think this set of two would suffice.  When stitching into layers of jeans-weight denim, don't be afraid to get a pair of pliers involved to aid your grip.   If you are going to stitch denim, also be sure you get a heavy duty thread, like heavier quilting thread, or even a smoother cord-like crochet cotton (size 10 or heavier) to match...there is of course the gold color out there somewhere too, but finding that would be another job.   Good luck, hope this helps!   Morgan  allpointsyarndotcom.

Question 3

Why does the description say 5 needles ("5 per package") but reviews say it contains only 2 needles? So which is it?

Accepted Answer

Amazon periodically merges products through the system of identification, called ASIN numbers.   Perhaps this is what is happening.   I sell two different products, each originally brought to market with distinctly different descriptions.   There are two different products.   You might wish to investigate them further with a broader internet search.

Question 4

Are these ball point needles?

Accepted Answer

Mine are #154. The package does not say “ball point” but I only use them on soft fabrics. I don’t use them on any fabric where I would have to use much pressure. ~ Mary
