Hi, is a wool needle the same as a darning needle, or is it something different?
Thanks for your answers.

Hi Hamster,
a yarn needle doesn’t have a point, so it won’t snag in the yarn,
and a darning needle does have a point.
I usually just use whatever I have on hand.
Have a nice Sunday

Hi Hamster,
a wool needle is also called a threading needle. It has an extremely large eye and a blunt tip. A darning needle also has a blunt tip and probably got its name back when people still darned holes in stockings.
Kind regards
Petra

Fancy that.
I thought they were just two different words for the same needle.

Question:
Does anyone still darn socks these days? I’m just asking because Petra mentioned it above.

Thanks for the info, but I don't darn socks.

Yes, of course—it’s faster than knitting new ones.
