The SINGER Tapestry Needles are packaged as a set of 24 high-quality hand sewing needles which include six needles each in four sizes. Tapestry needles, also known as yarn needles, have a tapered shaft and a blunt point, which makes them ideal for sewing knitted pieces together without splitting the yarn fibers. The blunt round tip easily slides through canvas and aida cloth as well. These sewing needles also have a large eye to accommodate a variety of thread weights, including yarn, silk ribbon, as well as for use with multiple strands of embroidery floss at a time. The large eye is especially easy to thread. The tapestry needles have color coded needle eyes so that you can easily choose the correct size needle for your needlework project. The green needles are size 22, the black needles are size 24, the blue needles are size 26, and the red needles are size 28. All needles are crafted from a high carbon steel with nickel plating to remain sturdy, rust resistant and durable for long-lasting use. SINGER Tapestry Needles are a great addition to any needleworker's sewing kit.
