Piecemakers Tapestry Needles 12-T26 – Size 26, Pack of 6

A pack of 6 Piecemakers tapestry needles in size 26 — the most versatile 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 multiple strands of cotton floss. Size 26 covers the widest range of common fabric counts, from 14 ct through 18 ct Aida and 28–36 ct evenweave and linen, so it works with the majority of cross stitch kits and patterns straight out of the box. A blunt needle is essential for counted work: unlike sharp embroidery needles, it passes through the holes in the weave cleanly, keeping stitches neat and fabric intact. For lower-count fabrics like 11 ct Aida, the thicker size 24 from the same line handles the larger holes more comfortably; for finer fabrics like 20+ ct, a size 28 will pass through without dragging.
