    That’s what prompted me to post mine. I did an experiment last night, soaking it in vinegar. It made it even darker and the oxidation seems to have spread…so I had to toss it. Sadly it was beginning to mess with my stitches because of the friction the dark layer had caused.

      I did notice tonight that it is getting more difficult to finish pulling the needle under the previous stitches. I may have to retire this needle soon. It’s almost entirely black now lol

      I may just bite the bullet and pay for the gold needles once I use all of these up
