Choosing A Needle

What size should I use?

Tapestry needles are available in sizes ranging from #26 (the finest), to #13 (the largest). The finer the needle size, the smaller the eye and the shorter the needle.

It's important to select a needle size appropriate for your current project. Choose a needle that will be thin enough to pass easily through the holes in the canvas without distortion.
