needles
Sharp sewing implements
Needles are thin, pointed instruments.
A sewing needle has an eye for thread; a knitting needle is longer and blunt-tipped; a hypodermic needle delivers or draws fluid through the skin.
The needle of a compass or gauge is its indicator.
Pine needles are the tree's slender leaves.
To needle someone is to provoke or tease them persistently: Stop needling your brother.
