36 gauge felting needles (classed as medium) packed in a tube for safety.   You can choose your preferred quantity - 6, 10 or 20 needles.  Felting needles are brittle and the thing to remember is to always keep them straight.   When using them please make sure that you take the needle out at the same angle you put it in - twisting or bending and coming out at a different angle will probably break your needle.   These needles are sharp and also have sharp barbs down one side so if children are involved they must be supervised.   (A good idea is for children to use finger protectors!).
