Bohin needles? Is that a brand or a type?

It's a brand.  They are just such good quality, and for some reason the eye of the needle is smooth, and they glide through the fabric really well. Personal preference!

Many kits come with the gold plated needles but I can honestly say I don't see much of difference. At first the gold may be slightly easier but after the gold wears off and it wears off quick!!! It's no better than your average a $1 a pack needles. The cost of replacing them can get a bit pricey if you discontinue use when the gold wears away. IMHO of course.

j,ai acheter ce genre d'aiguilles et le plaqué s'use facilement, je préfères les aiguilles normales.

I haven't found the gold plating makes a difference, and like others said, it wears off quickly.

I have nickel allergy so use gold plated, quite cheap from cross stitch heaven

I have used DMC gold plated needles in the past but I really don't have a preference either way.

i buy gold plated needles from ebay...theyre not too expensive an...as i tend to tarnish regular needles really fast...gold plated ones last a lot longer for me

What would make one type of needle better than the next type?  I have both but do not see a difference.
