Leather needles are sometimes referred to as Glovers needles because years ago they were used by glovers, who specialised in the art of hand making gloves. These needles are still used today, especially in all types of leather work including shoe making and shoe repairs, belts and leather garments. Leather needles have a triangular point, which enables them to pierce and pass through tough materials such as leather, suede and vinyl without tearing.

Leather/hide needles are specially designed needles used for sewing leather and hide. They differ from regular sewing needles due to their unique characteristics, making them suitable for working with these materials.

Characteristics:

Triangular point: Leather/hide needles have a triangular point, which makes it easier to pierce the dense fibers of leather and hide without damaging the material.
Stronger material: They are often made of hardened steel, making them stronger and more durable than regular sewing needles.
Various sizes: Leather/hide needles are available in different sizes to suit different thicknesses of leather and thread types.

Applications:

Leatherwork: They are primarily used for hand sewing leather products such as bags, belts, shoes, and saddles.
Hide work: They are also suitable for sewing hides and fur.
Repairs: Leather/hide needles can be used to repair leather and hide products, such as sewing tears or replacing worn parts.

Tips for use:

Choose the right size: Make sure to choose a needle that matches the thickness of the leather and the thread you will be using.
Use an awl: Make holes in the leather with an awl or punch pliers before sewing with the needle. This makes sewing easier and gives a nicer result.
Use a thimble: A thimble protects your finger when pushing the needle through the leather.

Leather/hide needles are an indispensable tool for anyone working with leather or hide. With the right needles and techniques, you can create beautiful and durable products that will last for many years.
