History of needles.

The first ever needles were made of flint and then bone which could be made allot smaller that flint. Sewing was mainly primitive being larger holes through skin.

The oldest iron sewing needle was found in Germany dateing back to 300 B.C. But the Egyptians made then from silver, copper and bronze before this. Needle making came over to England in around the 17th Century and it was a small cottage industry, run by families, the majority of these needlemakers were in the town of Redditch.

Although the cottage industry of needle making has gone, our needles are still manufactured in the UK.
