Abstract
A package for retaining sewing machine needles in a plurality of compartments. Means are provided for selecting a needle stored in a compartment by rotating a base containing a dispensing slot until the slot is aligned with an aperture of the desired needle compartment. An information disc, containing needle selection information, is interposed between the compartments and the base. Needle data may be read through an aperture or frame contained on the base, thereby advising the sewer of the appropriate uses for the needles contained within the selected compartment.
