SINGER Tapestry Steel Hand-Sewing Needles, Size 16, 6 Pieces

Designed for both beginners and experienced needleworkers, the SINGER Tapestry Hand Needle Set is perfect for a variety of hand sewing and craft projects. This sewing needle set is packaged as a set of six high-quality hand needles in size 16. Tapestry needles, also known as yarn needles, have a tapered shaft and a blunt point, which makes them ideal for sewing knitted pieces together without splitting the yarn fibers, especially for projects like afghans, sweaters, and scarves. They can also be used for weaving in loose ends and for attaching decorative elements like tassels or pom-poms. The blunt round tip easily slides through canvas and aida cloth as well, making them a favorite for cross-stitching. These sewing needles also have a large eye to accommodate a variety of thread weights, including yarn, silk ribbon, as well as for use with multiple strands of embroidery floss at a time. The large eye is especially easy to thread.
