John James Sharps Beading Needles – Size 12 Short (25 ct)

Sharps beading needles—often called shorts—are favored by beadworkers for their control, strength, and precision. These Size 12 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 is essential.

Their shorter length makes them especially useful for edging, tight areas, and techniques that require passing through one or two beads at a time, while also reducing the likelihood of 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 beadwork, including peyote, brick stitch, herringbone, and netting. Ideal for working with fine seed beads, pearls, and sequins.

A dependable choice for both beginners and experienced bead artists.
