Size 18 tapestry needles pair a large eye with a rounded tip for stitching on coarse canvas and low‑count fabrics. The blunt point passes between threads without cutting, making them well suited to needlepoint, bargello and cross‑stitch with multiple strands. The generous eye eases threading of thicker yarns and specialty fibres used in decorative work. Choose size and shape to suit the garment style and shoulder slope.
