Tapestry (Canvas): Pack of 6 - round/blunt tip.

These tapestry needles have a rounded tip with a large eye.  As its name suggests, it is ideal for wool tapestry thread.  It can also be used to sew your knits. They are also used on Aida, evenweave or linen fabric for cross stitch.

The numbering corresponds to the size of each needle, No. 18 being the longest and thickest and No. 28 the shortest and thinnest of the series.  Numbers 24, 26 & 28 are widely used for the cross stitch.

Use embroidery needles on medium and heavyweight fabrics such as velvet, wools, brocade, broadcloth or denim.  Embroidery needles are used on weft and warp fabrics from the thickest to the finest for all types of traditional embroidery. The embroidery needle has a large eye that allows you to thread the cotton embroidery thread(s), which is thicker than a classic sewing thread. The embroidery thread, which is more shiny, will give relief to your work. Equipped with an embroidery hoop and special embroidery transfer paper, you can learn to embroider or enhance your creations!

The numbering corresponds to the size of each needle, with No. 1 being the longest and thickest and No. 10 the shortest and thinnest in the series.
