Fine size 26 tapestry needles with durable gold plating for smooth passage through fabric and resistance to tarnish. A blunt point protects fibers on high-count evenweaves, and the long eye holds multiple strands of floss or specialty threads. Ideal for detailed cross-stitch on 16–18 count Aida, petit point and delicate needlepoint. Also useful for weaving in yarn tails on knitwear without splitting stitches or snagging fibers.
