A pack of 6 Piecemakers tapestry needles in size 24. 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 24 is slightly thicker than the more common size 26, which makes it a natural fit for lower-count fabrics like 11 ct and 14 ct Aida, where the larger holes accommodate the wider shaft without distorting the weave. It also handles heavier thread loads comfortably — up to 6 strands of stranded cotton or a single strand of Coton Perlé 3. If you stitch mostly on 16–18 ct Aida or finer evenweave, a size 26 will pass through the holes more easily.
