Why is it feminine?

Agujas is feminine because it derives from Latin "acucula," the diminutive form of "acus" (needle). In Latin, "acucula" was feminine (following the feminine gender of the base noun "acus"), and when Spanish inherited this word, it retained the feminine gender. Spanish words ending in "-a" are typically feminine, and "aguja" follows this productive pattern.
