Bohin Straw Milliner needle size 1 are ideal for any type of stitch where the thread is wrapped around the needle several times and the whole needle has to pass through the wraps. Bullion knots, cast-on stitch, drizzle stitch, and even French knots are easier when worked with a milliner needle. Milliners come in sizes 1-10, with 1 being larger and 10 being finer. 

The longer shaft of the milliner needle makes it easier to wrap the thread around the needle many times.
