They range from just a couple of inches to over a foot in diameter.
Embroidery needles are numbered 1 to 12the lower the number, the bigger the size (e.g.

Not all needles are the same.
Look for needles meant for embroidery as opposed to one used for tapestry.
This will ensure that your floss doesnt fray.

Just confirm you mark the color number onto the bobbin, too!
Metal rings keep your floss bobbins neat and together while you work.
And when you’re done, they can be easily stored back in your floss organizer case.

Its essentially an enamel pin with a super-strong magnet.
