You can also find them in Wal Mart in the craft section.  They usually come
in a package of several different sizes ranging from 5 -10, etc.

They will have the larger diameter (smaller number) and then a smaller
diameter (larger number) separated by a slash such as "5/10".

The #10 usually does correspond to the 0.018" diameter as I have used these
and tested the holes that they make and measured them and they are accurate
enough.  Just remember that the smaller the needle number, the larger is the
diameter of the needle.
