Plastic needles have several unique properties that make them particularly suitable for specific applications. Here are the key features:
🧵 General properties
• Lightweight: Plastic is much lighter than metal, making these needles easy to handle, especially for children or people with limited motor skills.
• Flexible: They bend slightly, which is useful when working with thick fabrics or yarns.
• Blunt end: Many plastic needles have a rounded point, making them safe for children and ideal for embroidery or weaving without damaging fabric.
• Large eye: The eye (where you pull the thread through) is often extra large, so that you can easily thread thick wool or yarn.
• Safety: Their soft material and blunt tip make them perfect for educational use, such as with toddlers or in healthcare settings.
🧶 Applications
• Embroidery and weaving: Especially suitable for coarse embroidery, weaving projects or stringing beads.
• Knitting and crocheting: Useful for weaving in loose threads or sewing parts together.
• Educational use: Widely used in preschool classes or with elderly people with dementia because of its safety and simplicity.
