Needle & Thread Sizes Explained

There are tons of gorgeous threads out there to purchase, but what needles do you use with which threads? It can be confusing. In this video I show the difference between an 8 wt thread and a #5 wt and #3 wt as well as show threads that are not labeled as wt. and explain what needles I use with them. Needles come with their own numbers that are often confusing as well, in this video I show the needles I use and the difference in their sizes and shapes. #18 Chenille Needles: https://amzn.to/3Gxm6T8 #24 Chenille Needles: https://amzn.to/3dIYPzA #1 Tulips Milliners Needles: https://amzn.to/3GFZbVE #3 Milliners Needle: https://amzn.to/3lWjOFa #3/9 Milliners Needles: https://amzn.to/30kP0q9 Assorted Needles Including the #15 Milliners: https://amzn.to/3s0xpiJ Stef Francis Threads: https://www.stef-francis.co.uk/shop/ The Thread Gatherer: https://threadgatherer.com/collections Painter's Threads: https://www.artisticartifacts.com/cat...

My Website: https://arianezurcher.com Blog: https://whereartandlifemeet.com Instagram:   / arianezurcher   Pinterest:   / arianezurcher   After graduating from Parsons School of Design, I began my career in fashion design and freelanced both in New York City, as well as London. I designed hand knits for Elle Magazine and was the editor of the Hand Knit Page before hand knits fell out of fashion in the early 1990's and the page was discontinued. In 2008 I launched my jewelry design business, designing fine jewelry in 18 & 20 Kt Gold with gemstones that I hand select for each piece. Several awards and numerous write ups & interviews in all kinds of magazines and online zines, I rediscovered hand stitching and my life took another turn. I have been designing in some form since I sold my first felt embroidered xmas tree ornaments to a small shop in Northern California when I was 16 years old, and have never looked back. And while I've had detours along the way: had two children, worked at an advertising agency, got into acting in my early 20's, published some articles for various magazines and wrote for the Huffington Post for a few years, I have always come back to designing. It is my first love and remains so to this day.
