Cable needle, swatch tag, stitch marker, tapestry needle. All four are sized, not measured by volume.

The group has four leaves and they span two orders of magnitude

A stitch marker is a ring of a few millimeters. A cable needle runs four to five inches. Between them sit a tapestry needle and a gauge swatch tag.

The stitch marker is the smallest storage problem on this shelf

Light, small, and it will go through any gap. 13 of this group’s 253 containers hold less than 15 mL and 24 hold less than 30, which is where the marker belongs.

And its real requirement is the closure rather than the body

A ring that weighs almost nothing escapes a lid that is merely resting on the rim. A continuous thread lid that is actually turned down is the difference between a sorted set and a loose handful.

A tapestry needle is blunt and short

Roughly one and a half to two and a half inches, and blunt, so it does not work its way into a wall or a liner the way a sharp does.

A cable needle is the longest thing in the group

Four to five inches, often with a bend or a crook in the middle. Of the 237 rows on this shelf that record a height, 21 reach four inches and 14 reach five, and the tallest is 6.745.

Which puts it at the thin end of the shelf

A long cable needle is close to the point where the shelf stops having an answer, and the three rows this group has that the shared shelf does not are exactly the narrow tall shape it wants.

The gauge swatch tag is a flat object and a different problem again

A tag is read, not poured. It wants to lie flat and stay in order, which argues for a wide shallow container and against anything the hand cannot reach into.

So the group splits the same way the embroidery group does

Two leaves want depth and two want a floor. Which is a property of a group of tools rather than a group of contents, and it is why a single container recommendation would be wrong here.

None of the four is a wool product

Part 300 governs the fiber content and origin label on a wool product. A needle, a marker and a tag are not wool products and nothing on these pages says the part reaches them.

The four leaves in this group as the catalog indexes them: cable needle, gauge swatch tag, stitch marker and tapestry needle. All four are tools or markers. 16 CFR part 300 governs the fiber content and origin label on a wool product and does not reach any of them.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. Of this group’s 253 containers, 13 hold less than 15 mL, 24 hold less than 30 and 62 hold less than 60. The capacity range across the shelf is 5 to 500 mL. Heights run 0.5 to 6.745 inches and diameters 0.617 to 4.625, both outside measurements, and 14 rows record no height while 31 record no diameter.

Written from 16 CFR part 300 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. Part 300 implements the Wool Products Labeling Act and governs the fiber content and origin label on wool products; it does not govern needles, markers or swatch tags, and nothing here says it does. The shipping weights quoted on the containers pages are quoted as evidence that the column is not usable, and no weight on these pages is offered as a fact about any container. This shelf is the store-small-dry shelf plus three rows, and the sewing notions property enumerates the shared part of it.
