Colonial Tapestry Petites Needles CB19928 – Size 28, 6 pcs

Shorter than standard tapestry needles — at approximately 1" (26mm) these sit more compactly in the hand, which gives you better control over stitch placement and lets you work through a short tail of thread right to the end without losing it. Same blunt tip and large eye as a full-length tapestry needle, just easier to manoeuvre on fine or detailed work. Comes in a reusable plastic tube. Size 28 is the needle for fine-count fabrics — 28ct evenweave stitched over one thread, 32ct, and 40ct linen.

FAQ

What is the difference between Tapestry Petites and standard tapestry needles? Petites have the same diameter and eye size for the same needle number — the only difference is length. The shorter body gives more control for precise stitching and lets you use thread right down to a short tail, which reduces waste on longer projects.

What fabric count does size 28 work with? Size 28 is suited for finer fabrics — 28ct evenweave stitched over one thread, 32ct, and 40ct linen. If you work on high-count linen or evenweave, this is the size to reach for.
