{"product_id":"regular-sewing-needles","title":"Regular Sewing Needles","description":"Sharps are a general purpose sewing needle. They are the most common needle found in the home and are used by dressmakers around the world. Their short round eyes provide added strength during sewing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot sure which size to buy or use? The general rule is the bigger the number the finer and shorter the needle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse Sharps size 2, 3 and 4 for general sewing on medium to heavy fabrics. These sizes have a larger eye and therefore are easier to thread. Sharps in size 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are the most popular within the sharp family and they are commonly used for general sewing on light to medium fabrics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSharps size 10, 11 and 12 are often referred to as the petite needle because they are very fine and short with smaller eyes than their counterparts within the Sharp family. These needles are ideal for creating small delicate stitches and are quick and easy to use, a delight for the experienced sewer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize 2 to 4 contains 16 needles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize 5 to 10 contains 20 needles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize 11 and 12 contains 12 needles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize 1 48.5mm length x 1.02mm diameter\u003cbr\u003eSize 2 44mm length x 0.86mm diameter\u003cbr\u003eSize 3 44mm length x 0.86mm diameter\u003cbr\u003eSize 4 40mm length x 0.76mm diameter\u003cbr\u003eSize 5 40mm length x 0.76mm diameter\u003cbr\u003eSize 6 37mm length x 0.69mm diameter\u003cbr\u003eSize 7 37mm length x 0.69mm diameter\u003cbr\u003eSize 8 34mm length x 0.61mm diameter\u003cbr\u003eSize 9 34mm length x 0.61mm diameter\u003cbr\u003eSize 10 32.5mm length x 0.53mm diameter\u003cbr\u003eSize 11 31mm length x 0.46mm diameter\u003cbr\u003eSize 12 29.5mm length x 0.41mm diameter","brand":"John James","offers":[{"title":"Size 2 Medium\/Heavy Fabrics","offer_id":57447428292956,"sku":"JJ11002E","price":1.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Size 3 Medium\/Heavy Fabrics","offer_id":57447428325724,"sku":"JJ11003E","price":1.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Size 4 Medium\/Heavy Fabrics","offer_id":57447428358492,"sku":"JJ11004E","price":1.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Size 5 Medium\/Light-weight Fabrics","offer_id":57447428391260,"sku":"JJ11005E","price":1.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Size 6 Medium\/Light-weight Fabrics","offer_id":57447428424028,"sku":"JJ11006E","price":1.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Size 7 Medium\/Light-weight Fabrics","offer_id":57447428456796,"sku":"JJ11007E","price":1.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Size 8 Medium\/Light-weight Fabrics","offer_id":57447428489564,"sku":"JJ11008E","price":1.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Size 9 Medium\/Light-weight Fabrics","offer_id":57447428522332,"sku":"JJ11009E","price":1.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/2025\/6092\/files\/John-James-Sewing-Needles-4.jpg?v=1777065515","url":"https:\/\/www.franklinsgroup.com\/products\/regular-sewing-needles","provider":"Franklins ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
