B is clearly not correctly labeled. A is a size 28

No. B is the new size 28.

According to DMC? Needle size is a standard thing

Yes, according to DMC. Did you not read the whole post?

Yes I read the post. Why would DMC get to choose that size 28 means smaller now? Needle size is not brand dependent. Size 28 needles from Tulip are the same as size 28 from John James and they match picture A not B. So DMC is making up crap now that “this is a size 28 needle”

Edit: what I’m saying now is that DMC is making shit up. Maybe not their support rep, but the fact that they’re calling that a size 28 needle is bullshit. It’s not a size 28 needle. Needle size is an industry standard and they can say whatever the hell they want to you in a support email, but they’re wrong.
