Piecemakers Tapestry Needles 12-T28 – Size 28, Pack of 6

A pack of 6 Piecemakers tapestry needles in size 28 — the finest common size for counted cross stitch. Tapestry needles have a blunt rounded tip and a large elongated eye — the blunt tip slides between fabric threads without splitting them, and the wide eye threads easily with stranded cotton floss. Size 28 is thinner and shorter than the standard size 26, so it passes through tighter fabric holes without dragging or distorting the weave. This makes it the right pick for higher-count fabrics like 18–20 ct Aida and 36+ ct evenweave or linen, where a size 26 can feel snug. The trade-off is a smaller eye, so threading with 3+ strands can be tight — size 28 works best with 1–2 strands. For 14–16 ct Aida or heavier thread loads, the size 26 from the same line is the more comfortable choice.
