Our Dewberry Ridge Needle is provided in every kit and available for purchase from our website: www.dewberryridge.com, or email donna@dewberryridge.com, or call.    Our needle is handmade from hard wood (usually Red Oak from Missouri Ozarks).   It is specially designed for our Toothbrush Rug to be durable, smooth and easy to use.  It is guaranteed against breakage; however, we  cannot guarantee against dogs (they really love these things—especially my dog!!!)
