Grandad just use a 2mm drill bit or jewellers screwdriver. Much easier to buy and doesn't involve people giving you funny looks

I just had a look through my stuff for you but no joy. Only have 18g spares, sorry. Found this crowd who have them. www.octoink.co.uk/products/14g-Blunt-Needle.html Postage is around £3 for them but you can buy as many or as few as you like. |

This is all new to me total newbie to it :-) |

I just bought 10 new needles from ebay and blunted them myself using our knife sharpening stone. Took about 2 minutes per needle. Washed and ready for filling, coiling and mixing. needles |
