This needle is the perfect size for repairs to medium-weight woven fabrics like cotton shirts or linen trousers.
 
Chenille needles have an elongated eye for stitching with thicker thread or yarn and a sharp point to easily pierce through fabric.
 
The larger eye and shorter length also make it the ideal needle to use when sewing in loose tails at the end of a mend.
