Colonial Tapestry Petites Needles CB19926 – Size 26, 6 pcs

Shorter than standard tapestry needles — at approximately 1⅛" (27mm) 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 26 is suited for 18ct Aida and 28ct or 32ct evenweave stitched over two threads.

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 26 work with? Size 26 works well on 16ct Aida and on 28ct or 32ct evenweave stitched over two threads — a versatile mid-range size that suits a wide range of cross stitch projects.
