FAQ:

What's the difference between tapestry and embroidery needles? Tapestry needles have a blunt tip and large eye — they pass between fabric threads without piercing them, making them ideal for cross stitch on Aida, evenweave, and canvas work. Sharp embroidery needles are for surface embroidery on regular woven fabric.

What canvas count do these needles work with? This set is designed for coarser fabrics — 11ct Aida and tapestry canvas. For 14ct Aida and finer, you'll need smaller needle sizes (24–26).
