Maderia Sewing & Embroidery Sewing Needles for Lana Wool 

MAR9452-LANA

Packet of 5 needles.

These needles are compatible with your Domestic/Household sewing machines.

Madeira Wool Lana Embroidery Needle 9452

Ideal for hand-sewing thicker woollen threads on embroidery or decorative fabrics.

This card contains 5 needles — each one size 110/18 (Art. 9452) from the renowned German brand Madeira. These needles have a specialised scarf and a larger eye, purpose-designed for use with heavier woollen embroidery threads such as Madeira’s Lana No. 12. The sculpted shape helps to reduce skipped stitches and prevents thread breakage when working with dense, textured threads.

Key features:

• Size 110/18 (Art. 9452) — high-quality embroidery/hand-sewing needle.

• Specially shaped design (scarf and larger eye) for thicker woollen threads.

• Ideal for use with woollen embroidery threads such as Madeira Lana No. 12 (and other similarly heavy wool threads).

• Supplied in a pack of 5 needles.

• Manufactured by Madeira, ensuring precision and durability.

Why choose this needle?
When you’re using bulky wool or heavy decorative threads, a standard hand-sewing or embroidery needle often struggles: the thread can kink, fray or even break; stitches may skip or sit poorly in the fabric. The Madeira Wool Lana needle is engineered for such tasks — the larger eye accommodates thick yarn without undue friction, and the specially shaped scarf ensures smooth gliding through the fabric and under the presser foot if used on machines. If you sew cushions, wool appliqué, chunky yarn embroideries, decorative textured surfaces or winter-weight woollen fabrics, this needle is a smart investment.

Recommended for:

• Wool appliqué projects on garments, winter blankets or cushions.

• Hand-embroidery or machine-embroidery with heavy wool threads.

• Creative and textured embroidery work where standard needles struggle.

• NZ sewing studios and independent makers who frequently work with heavier threads.

Usage tips:

• Match the needle size to the thickness of the woollen thread (110/18 is a strong, large size).

• If sewing on machine: check that your machine’s manual allows for size 110/18 and test on a scrap piece first.

• Use a stabiliser or backing where the heavy thread might pull the fabric out of shape.

• Keep a spare card at hand — heavy thread use can wear needles faster than standard threads.
