John James Tapestry Needles

John James is a historic British brand specializing in the manufacture of high-quality hand sewing needles. Founded in 1840, the brand has its roots in Redditch, Worcestershire, which was famously the international capital of needle-making for centuries. The 'Dragon' logo seen on the packaging is a hallmark of the John James brand, symbolizing its heritage in the industry.

Today, Entaco Limited owns and produces John James needles. The company continues to maintain a manufacturing base in the United Kingdom, specifically in Redditch, where it combines traditional manufacturing techniques with modern quality standards. The brand is globally recognized among hobbyists and professionals for needlework, tapestry, and various textile arts due to the precision and finish of their steel needles.
