John James Sharps Beading Needles – 25 Pack

When creating beaded necklaces, bracelets, or earrings, having the right needle makes all the difference. John James #11 Sharps Beading Needles are a trusted essential for jewelry makers, bead artists, and crafters of all skill levels.

Often referred to by beaders as “shorts,” sharps needles are shorter and stiffer than English beading needles, providing greater control when working in tight spaces or making multiple passes through beads. Their shorter length makes them ideal for beading edges, detailed areas, and stitches that require precision, while also reducing the risk of bending or breaking during use.

The needle eye is the same width as the shaft, helping keep thread securely in place—even when passing through beads multiple times. This makes them especially effective for seed beads, pearls, sequins, and fine beadwork.

These versatile needles are suitable for loom weaving and off-loom techniques such as peyote, brick stitch, herringbone, and netting. Whether you are a beginner learning basic beading techniques or an experienced jewelry maker working on intricate designs, these needles offer reliability, control, and ease of use.

Manufactured from steel wire in China and packed and inspected in England to European quality standards, John James needles are known for their consistency and durability. This convenient 25-pack ensures you always have needles on hand for beading, sewing, quilting, jewelry making, or repair projects.

Perfect for creating handmade jewelry for gifts, special occasions, or everyday wear, these sharps needles are a must-have addition to any beading or sewing kit.
