Default Grain sack sewing needle?
In article .com,
(Sheldon) says...

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.

A sack needle has a unique design. The eye has a spring loaded slot on
one side, so you can just grab twine off the skein and slip it into the
needle without threading. The eye is flat and sharpened on one edge, so
you can use the eye to cut the twine when you finish sewing the sack.
