Tapestry

Tapestry Needles For Crochet, Cross Stitch, Needlepoint and More.

From knitting to needlepoint, Tapestry Needles are designed for needlework using open weave and loosely woven fabrics. Featuring a blunt tip intended to push between the fabric’s fibers instead of puncturing and a large eye to accommodate yarn or thick threads, Tapestry Needles are very similar to embroidery needles without the sharp point. They’re the ideal choice for styles of needlework like cross stitch, needlepoint and tapestry, which involve stitching in the open spaces of open-weave materials. In larger sizes, these blunt needles are ideal for stitching with thicker materials like yarn—they’re excellent for weaving in ends on a crochet project, sewing together knitted pieces of a garment or mending knitted items. Choose from various sizes of tapestry needles to find the right fit for your project. Shop all Tapestry Needles here to get started.
