Tapestry needle

A tapestry needle is a sewing needle with a long eye and a blunt tip used on larger woven fabrics such as knit and crochet, plastic canvas, and even-weave materials such as canvas.

The rounded tip does not damage the fabric and keeps the grid formed by the woven threads in place, making stitches more even.

The eye of a tapestry needle is large enough to hold multiple strands of embroidery floss or yarn, giving the opportunity for thicker and fuller stitches.

Tapestry needles come in different sizes and shapes. There are straight, bent tip, and curved needles used depending on the type of work.
