Knitwear is all about cool. A hooded top can make a dud look like a dude. Polo t-shirts can make chilling out seem corporate. A funky jersey can add a dash of colour. And a trendy tank top can inject loads of attitude. All this is possible thanks to the magic of some craftsmen who have the gift of weaving trends out of threads. At beissel, we specialize in helping such craftsmen by offering the finest set of needles that can make hot look hip. knitted garments are a combination of loops in a row. Their sewability depends on factors like the yarn type, yarn density, size, regularity and finish of loops. So the choice of needle with the correct size and point form is really critical while sewing knits. Experience has given a lot of insight about crafting the right needle for the right knit.

Leather is all about style. It can add that extra oomph to a pretty young thing. And swagger to a sedate guy. Leather jackets, boots, bags, wallets, belts and gloves have that glittery aura thanks to the magic of seasoned craftsmen who can weave pride out of a piece of hide. At beissel, we specialize in helping such craftsmen, by offering the finest set of needles that can make the good look great. there are many types of leather and each type has a unique property. For example, patent leather has a high gloss finish, shagreen is light and grainy, nappa is extremely soft and supple, while suede is fuzzy on both sides. Now, sewing nappa is not the same as stitching the suede. Even within leather object, the story is a little complicated. Certain parts may need a tight weave while the waistbands, collars and cuff edges may need topstitching. Keeping these intricacies in mind, we at beissel, have created nearly 40 types of sewing solutions for leather using a mix of 5 different cutting points.

Jeans are all about looking with-it. Sometimes, low rise might be the rage and at other times, it might be a different style. Whatever the trend is, it goes without saying that the pair of jeans must last. This durability is made possible by craftsmen who have the gift of fashioning delight out of scraps of denim. At beissel, we specialize in helping such craftsmen by offering the finest set of needles that can make the blue denim look bewitching. denim is a thick, hard, unwashed fabric. The penetration resistance to the needle is very high and large size needles are recommended. This is especially the case when sewing multiple piles or sewing over seams. The most commonly used denim is 14 oz. For softer, lighter weight or stretch fabrics, we would advise a needle approximately 2 size smaller. For stretch denims, we usually suggest light ballpoint needles. they say it takes about 1. 6 meters of denims, several hundred meters of sewing thread, 6 rivets, labels, few leather patches, a zipper and 37 sewing operations to create a standard 5-pocket pair of jean. The sewing operations are too many to sum up.
