Our take on the Hello Hobby Tapestry Hand-Sewing Needles, Size 16, 6 Pieces
These are six size 16 tapestry needles with blunt tips and large oval eyes, made for yarn and needlework rather than sharp sewing. The blunt round point slides between stitches on knitted pieces and through canvas or aida without splitting threads, and the big eye takes yarn, silk ribbon or several strands of floss at once. They suit knitters seaming afghans and sweaters, crocheters weaving in ends, and cross-stitchers finishing edges. Against sharper chenille or darning needles, the blunt tip is the safer choice for yarn work; against plastic yarn needles, metal ones hold a straighter shaft for canvas work. Owners rate them well overall.

Questions and answers
- What are tapestry needles used for?
- They are for yarn and needlework: seaming knitted pieces, weaving in ends, attaching tassels and pom-poms, and stitching on canvas or aida cloth. The blunt tip is made for working between threads, not through woven fabric.
- Can I use these for cross-stitch?
- Yes. The blunt round tip is described for working through canvas and aida cloth, and the large eye holds several strands of embroidery floss at once. Size 16 is on the thicker side, so it suits medium-count fabric better than fine work.
- Do they work with bulky yarn?
- The large oval eye takes yarn, silk ribbon and multiple strands of floss, so medium to bulky yarns thread through. Very thick yarn may still need a larger needle.
- How many needles come in the set?
- Six size 16 tapestry needles.
- Are these the same as darning needles?
- No. Darning needles have sharp points for mending woven fabric. These have blunt round tips that pass between stitches, which is what yarn work needs.
