Unless you're seeking a particular machine needle to fit a particular
grain sack sewing machine any large sewing needle will work for sewing
heavy fabric by hand.

Also, most marine supply shops will carry sailmaker's sewing supplies;
sailmaker's needles , palms, and thread.
You can also search leather sewing needles and carpet sewing
needles.
