Straw Needle

A straw needle is traditionally used in hat and bonnet making. It is long and fine, with a sharp point and a round eye that is not wider than the needle shaft. This type of needle is also often used for appliqué and smocking, as well as straw embroidery. Also known as a milliners needle.
