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.
