Sewers unwanted mostly (7)

I believe the answer is:

needles

(Other definitions for needles that I've seen before include "Christmas tree leaves" , "Teases or provokes with knitting implements" , "Pins and - -" , "Stacks of chalk" , "Isle of Wight feature - irritates" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
