Kõverdusnõel

Kõverdusnõel is an Estonian term that translates to "curved needle" in English. It refers to a type of needle that is intentionally bent or shaped into a curve rather than being straight. This curvature serves a specific purpose in various sewing and upholstery applications.

The primary advantage of a kõverdusnõel is its ability to reach difficult or confined areas that a straight needle cannot. The bend allows it to maneuver around corners, through tight spaces, or along curves with greater ease. This makes it particularly useful for tasks such as sewing upholstery seams, repairing furniture, tacking down fabric in challenging spots, or working with thick materials where a straight needle might be cumbersome.

The degree of curvature can vary depending on the intended use. Some kõverdusnõelad have a slight bend, while others are significantly curved. They are typically made from strong materials like steel to withstand the pressure required for these types of sewing projects. The eye of the needle, where the thread is inserted, is usually located at the tip or near the bend, facilitating efficient threading. While not as common as straight needles in everyday sewing, kõverdusnõelad are an essential tool for specific crafts and trades.
