Needles are measured in sizes, which can vary depending on their type and intended use. In general, the larger the needle size number, the smaller the needle; for example, a size 10 needle is larger than a size 30 needle. Gauges refer to the thickness of the needle, with a higher gauge number indicating a thinner needle; common gauges for medical needles range from 18 (thicker) to 30 (thinner). Different applications, such as sewing or medical procedures, may require specific needle sizes and gauges for optimal performance.

For needles, sizes can be classified by their diameter and length, with specific numbering systems for different types, such as sewing or knitting needles.
