Embroidery Needles for Your Most Beautiful Projects

Embroidery is more popular than ever – and for good reason! You can create beautiful works of art to decorate clothes, cushions, table linens, or even frame them. To achieve the best results, you need high-quality embroidery needles. At Yarnplaza.com, you'll find a wide range of embroidery needles from top brands like Prym, Rico, Schmetz, and Tulip Hiroshima. Whether you're looking for blunt tips, sharp tips, big eyes, or fine needles – we have them all.

Blunt vs. sharp embroidery needles: what’s the difference?

Choosing the right needle tip matters. A sharp embroidery needle is perfect for finer fabrics like silk or cotton where you need to pierce through the fabric. A blunt embroidery needle (also called “tapestry needle”) is ideal for thicker fabrics or when stitching through already worked threads, like with cross stitch or blackwork. As a rule of thumb: the lower the number, the thicker the needle.

Needles in every size and material

From plastic embroidery needles with large eyes to crewel needles and premium Tulip tapestry needles – you’ll find them all neatly arranged on Yarnplaza.com, so you can always choose the right needle for your next project.

3 Creative Ideas for Using Your Embroidery Needles

  • Decorating cushions: Give your home a personal touch by adding embroidery to cushion covers. All you need is a blunt-tipped needle and your favorite yarn.

Frequently Asked Questions about Embroidery Needles

  • What’s the difference between a blunt and a sharp embroidery needle?
    Use a blunt needle for stitching through existing stitches (e.g., cross stitch) and a sharp needle when piercing fine fabrics like cotton or silk.
  • Which needle size should I use?
    The higher the number, the finer the needle. Choose a size based on your thread and fabric: #24–26 for delicate work, #14–18 for thicker materials.
  • Can I use embroidery needles for knitting or sewing?
    Blunt-tipped embroidery needles are often used for weaving in ends in knitting or crochet, but they are not suitable for machine sewing or splitting yarn fibers.
  • Do you sell embroidery kits?
    Yes! We offer complete embroidery kits from Rico Design and others, including patterns and materials for cushions, linens, and more.
