The needle on the right is a regular steel needle plated with nickel, John James, tapestry #26.

2024年11月15日 · A “crewel” or embroidery needle has an eye that’s about half the length of a chenille or tapestry needle eye.

Tapestry needles have a long eye and a blunt tip and are the ideal needle for counted thread work, needlepoint, petit point, and other techniques where you need a blunt tip that will help you avoid splitting fabric threads.

2012年8月6日 · Pass your tapestry needle over the first thread, under the second, over the third, and so forth, alternating an over-under sequence until you reach the other side of your design area.

2011年4月16日 · It is nice to see a lovely , bright miniature in progress – I have a 45″ x 35″ version of the Cluny tapestry, worked a good many years ago in my hallway – my little face is 2″ x 1 1/2″ – the colours are still a delight, but more muted after so long. Thanks for sharing yours.
