Bohin France Crewel Embroidery Needles

Bohin France Crewel Embroidery Needles No. 5

The right needle changes everything.

Bohin France crewel embroidery needles are beautifully made, smooth, and a pleasure to stitch with. The No. 5 size is a We Who Stitch favourite — fine enough for detailed embroidery, yet strong and versatile enough for mending, embellishing garments, and working with silk embroidery floss.

With a sharp point for piercing woven fabrics and a slightly elongated eye that accommodates stranded threads and silk floss, these needles glide easily through fabric without snagging or splitting your thread.

They pair perfectly with Kasia Jacquard stick-and-stitch designs, Madeira silk embroidery floss, and everyday garment fabrics — making them ideal for visible mending, decorative stitching, and adding thoughtful detail to clothes you already own.

Why we love them

• Made in France by Bohin — known for exceptional quality

• Sharp point for clean, accurate stitching

• Elongated eye for silk floss and stranded threads

• Ideal for embroidery, mending & embellishment

• Smooth finish for effortless stitching

We believe good tools make handwork feel calm and achievable. These needles support slow, intentional making — the kind that turns repair into ritual and embellishment into self-expression – Not a tangled thread sh!t show.

Thread your needle. Press play. Stitch it your way.
