C.S. Osborne No. 508 6-Inch Bent-Pack Needles, 12 Pack
When to choose it
Choose the six-inch No. 508 for a stitch that needs more reach than the three-inch bent-pack needle while retaining a bent diamond point. Osborne specifies 9 gauge for the six-inch size. Check both reach and shaft thickness before using it on the same covering as a shorter needle.
The bend is near the point, so compare a fully curved needle if the stitch needs a larger arc around the seam. This twelve-pack repeats the six-inch size. It makes sense when the method and the material already call for this particular profile.
