>>I did not mean that they were needles. They are basically a needle shape.>>

But some of them are indeed sewing needles. I know because, about five years ago, a shipment of blued steel springs in assorted sizes I ordered from Ferree's contained two needles that hadn't been clipped and flattened at the larger ends. They still had their eyes. After that eye-opener, I tried buying some needles and blueing them myself, but getting the temperature and the timing just right is such a pain that I'd rather keep on ordering from Ferree's. There's not nearly enough difference in price to make clipping, flattening ends and blueing my own worthwhile -- and most of the needles in fabric shops are stainless steel, which won't blue.
