Anchor Tapestry Needles 5001.028 – Size 28, Pack of 6

A pack of 6 Anchor tapestry needles in size 28 — a fine blunt needle for cross stitch on higher-count fabrics. Thinner than the more common size 26, it passes through tighter weaves like 18 ct and 20 ct Aida without dragging or distorting the fabric threads. The rounded tip keeps stitches clean by sliding between threads rather than piercing them, and the elongated eye still threads comfortably with stranded cotton. You can technically use a size 28 on 14 ct Aida, but it will feel flimsy in the looser weave — for standard 14–16 ct fabrics, size 26 is sturdier and more forgiving.
