The Chibi  is actually the little container that holds the Straight Darning Needles with their special blunt or ball point tip. But everyone calls the darning needle itself a chibi needle. It's the greatest sewing up needle ever for needle work or any hand work requiring a blunt tip needle. The chibi is a must have darning needle for all needle workers. Great for needle point and larger counted cross stitch canvas. You will find one of the three sizes of darning needles perfect for your work. Once you have a chibi darning needle, you will never use anything else. It is simply a well engineered darning needle and it works perfectly. Three different sizes of darning needles come with the Chibi holder.
