[Nfb-krafters-korner] Plastic Canvas needles

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Barb;
What was the title on the package and or what did you ask for in the store?
With the smaller needle, see if you can thread the yarn in, easily, like I said in my previous e-mail.

I can always send you one if you are not sure.

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?
