# 18-22 / 1 5/8"-2" long - ASSORTMENT - 6 pc Tapestry needles have a somewhat blunt tip and are perfect for aida cloth, linen or heavy needlepoint canvas. This is important because it slips gently through the pre-existing holes in the weave. It doesn’t split the fabric's warp and weft, ensuring every stitch lies flat and perfect. It is the gentle pointer, the dignified baton, navigating the grid without leaving a trail of destruction.
The tapestry needle variety pack isn't about having spares; it's about the ability to dynamically adapt to the project at hand, often within a single piece.
Imagine a complex sampler: I start with an #18 for a border using thick, stranded floss on 14-count Aida. Then, I move to a section of fine embroidery on 28-count fabric, requiring the reliable #20. Finally, I move to a delicate section of specialty silk thread on 36-count linen, demanding the delicate touch of the #22. With this assortment you have the correct tapestry needle for your task at hand.
