Poor quality chinese sewing needles.

Recent trawl through ebay.....these are ones I would buy. They might not suit everybody size wise, but they won't be poor quality.

superb buy if you add up the price of decent needles

Though the postage is ridiculous on that one.

Did come across these people, http://neptuneworks.com/ another Redditch based co, and their blurb says all their products are made in two plants there.

Anyone had any experience with their needles?

:bluThinki I was going to bid on them as well, but not till the closing minute or so.

But as you've put a bid in Tom, I'll pass and wish you luck in getting them

It isn't just sewing needles. I've had a few packs of supposedly high-speed steel twist drills that were made in China and they were about as soft, and a as much use, as the proverbial chocolate fireguard.

Cheers for the thought but we got out bid straight away so feel free to wade in, I've some old school needles from other sources so wasn't going to put much on and won't be upping it.
