A tapestry needle is a type of sewing needle specifically designed for use in needlework projects like embroidery and cross-stitch. It features a large, rounded eye that allows for easy threading of thicker yarns or multiple strands of thread. The blunt tip helps prevent damage to the fabric, making it ideal for working on canvas or other delicate materials. Tapestry needles come in various sizes, allowing crafters to choose the right one for their specific project. They are commonly made from metal and can be found in craft stores or online. Using the correct needle can enhance the quality and appearance of the finished work.
