DMC tapestry needles are blunt-point hand needles made for needlepoint, canvas work, and counted stitching on open-weave fabrics like aida and evenweave. This 6-needle pack is size 18 and is 1¾–2 in (44–51 mm) long, with a large eye that accommodates tapestry wool, pearl cotton, and ribbon. The rounded tip helps slide between fibers to reduce splitting and keeps canvas threads intact as you pass through holes and intersections.
