Project Description
Cross Stitch Needles
(Tapestry Needles)
Description:
- Tapestry needles are sometimes called Cross Stitch needles, they have a large eye in order for them to carry a heavier weight yarn or thread.
- They also have a blunt point which allows them to pass through loosely woven fabric such as embroidery canvas or even-weave material without catching or tearing it.
Material: Steel
Finish: Nickel Plated
Pcs/Pack: 9needles
Size: Assorted sizes which could be customized.
Size Guide:
- As a general guide, needle sizing is referred to by its wire gauge number. The lower the number the thicker the needle.
- A pack of 3/9 would be an assortment of needles ranging between size 3 and 9.
- A pack of size 8 would be all needles in the pack the same = size 8.
- Size 8 is quite a thin diameter needle compared to a size 3.
- Use Sharps size 2, 3 and 4 for general sewing on medium to heavy fabrics. These sizes have a larger eye and therefore are easier to thread. Sharps in size 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are the most popular within the sharp family and they are commonly used for general sewing on light to medium fabrics.
- Select the needle size according to the weight of the fabric. It is better to choose the eye which is 40% bigger than the thread diameter, otherwise the thread will start to break.
