Partitive articles and "de"

Richard G.C1Kwiziq community member

As an alternative to "des aiguilles de pin," can one write "d'aiguilles de pins"? Or is "des aiguilles" appropriate because (as I suppose is the case)
"aiguilles" are considered uncountable here? And why "de pin" instead of "de pins"?
