John James Tapestry Needles

Tapestry needles, sometimes referred to as Cross Stitch needles, have a large eye and a blunt round point and are especially adapted for the use in needlepoint, petit point, counted cross stitch and plastic canvas work. Finer tapestry needles are commonly used for cross stitch.

It is the finer needles such as size 22, 24, 26 and 28 that are commonly used for cross stitch. The blunt round point enables the needle to pass and slip between fabrics and yarns without splitting or tearing the fibres. Use them with wool, embroidery soft cotton and stranded cotton on Single Point Canvas, Double Point Canvas, Aida and open mesh fabric.
