About Needle
"Used with a thread to make clothes."
The Needle is the basic Crafting tool used with thread to sew leather and cloth into wearable items. It is the gateway tool for every Crafting recipe in the leather and cloth families, from leather gloves at 1 Crafting through d'hide bodies at 84 Crafting.
Needles are sold by clothing and crafting shops across Gielinor for 1 coin each. They never break, weigh almost nothing, and are typically picked up once per account.

Market Strategy
- Pure shop item; Grand Exchange listings exist as a convenience
- No realistic flipping profit at value 1 vs alch 1
- Limit 40 per 4 hours so traders can't corner the market
Trading Tips
Buy from Wayne's Chains in Falador for the closest F2P bank-adjacent stock
Carry one in your tool slot to skip the shop run every time
