steel. One side is sharp so that through the cloth can be pierced. On
the other hand, is an eye, where a wire can be pulled through. The eye
is elongated in shape and slightly larger than the thickness of the wire

the eye crossed, instead of having to pull through it. The length of
needles varies, depending on the application, about 2 cm to 10 cm. The
thickness varies, but a needle is rarely thicker than 2 millimeters.
