Needles for rehairing - UK

[GasFree]

Hi there all.

Bit of an odd question but where do UK customisers get needles for rehairing?
I have tried all sorts of sizes from tesco and Asda and all of them break after a few plugs, am getting frustrated lol
I am using wig ventilating needle holder as the tool - could that be the problem?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as Have a few G1's I would like to restore to their former glory.

Thanks in advance

where you can change the blade and simple darning needles that I cut with pincers.

I use large darning needles which I trim down and a tool I was given (it's wooden doweling)

Panda's suggestion is a good one for a handle
