Perfect for hair silk. I like "00" size, their largest. http://www.finescience.ca/Special-Pages/Products.aspx?ProductId=122&CategoryId=71 Shirley On 19 January 2017 at 10:05, Dee Stubbs-Lee <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: Hello, Can anyone suggest a good supplier for small curved reusable surgical needles suitable for textiles repairs with hair silk? I’m not sure of the size numbers, but I would say ones about the curve and diameter of a dime or smaller would work well. Most of my nice smaller ones have gone astray over the years, and of course I only need a few. Canadian suppliers preferred.
