Using your needles
Choose a needle whose eye accommodates your thread without crowding. Test on the fabric and adjust the size if it leaves an unnecessarily large hole or is difficult to pull through. For counted work on open-weave fabric, a blunt tapestry needle may be more appropriate.
Good to know: This is the thin, sharp-point assortment—not a blunt tapestry pack. One purchase supplies eight hand needles; thread and fabric are separate.
