Three sizes, made in Japan.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTapestry needles are defined by two things: a blunt, rounded tip that passes between fabric threads rather than splitting them, and a large eye that accommodates thick thread, multiple strands of floss, or yarn without fraying. These two features make them the right tool for any work on open-weave fabric - canvas, aida, evenweave linen - and for any finishing work that requires threading thick yarn through a needle without a point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSOHMO Tapestry Needles are made in Japan by a manufacturer with over 100 years of needle-making experience. Ten precision processes produce a needle that is consistently smooth, snag-free, and strong. The blunt tip is rounded cleanly, not just ground down, which means it glides between threads rather than catching on them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat they're used for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCross stitch and counted work on aida and evenweave. The blunt tip navigates the fabric grid without splitting the weave, keeping stitch lines clean and even. Long stitch, needlepoint, and tapestry canvas work - the large eye handles multiple strands and wool thread comfortably. Finishing knitted garments - tapestry needles are the standard tool for seaming knitted pieces together and weaving in yarn ends. The blunt tip and large eye handle even bulky yarn without snagging. Also great for candlewicking and other decorative thread work on open-weave fabrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis tin contains 20 needles across three sizes - a practical assortment for matching needle to fabric and thread weight:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e22 gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(0.89 × 40.00mm) - 6 needles.
