Colonial Tapestry Petites Needles CB19924 – Size 24, 6 pcs

Shorter than standard tapestry needles — at approximately 1¼" (32mm) 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 24 is the standard size for 14ct Aida and 28ct 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 24 work with? Size 24 is the standard for 14ct Aida — the most common fabric in cross stitch kits. It also works well on 28ct evenweave stitched over two threads.
