John James Sharps Beading Needles – Size 11 Short (25 ct)

Sharps beading needles—often called shorts—are a favorite among beadworkers for their control, strength, and precision. These Size 11 Sharps beading needles by John James are shorter and stiffer than traditional English (long) beading needles, making them ideal for tight stitches and detailed work where accuracy matters.

Their shorter length provides excellent control for edging, intricate patterns, and projects that require passing through one or two beads at a time, while also helping reduce breakage during use. The eye of the needle is the same width as the shaft, allowing thread to glide smoothly through beads and remain secure, even during multiple passes.

Made from steel wire, these needles are manufactured in China and packed and inspected in England to meet European quality standards. They are well suited for both loom and off-loom techniques, including peyote, brick stitch, herringbone, netting, and more. Ideal for stringing seed beads, pearls, and sequins.

A versatile essential for both beginners and experienced jewelry makers, these needles are a reliable addition to any beadwork, sewing, or quilting kit.
