[Nfb-krafters-korner] Plastic Canvas needles

[Barb Roland]

I guess my question should have been what are typical sizes for plastic 
canvas needles. In the package I got of 5 needles, there are 3 of one size 
and 2 of another size. The package does not indicate the needle sizes, I do 
however find a series of numbers on the back of the package that end in 
1618W, am I guessing right that the 3 shorter ones are size 16 and 2 longer 
ones are size 18?
