DMCTapestry Needle Size 16 6pc

So happy to find notions online.

Very happy with them

Worked great at a cheap price

Eu uso elas para bordar linho rústico com linha Perlé (linhas mais grossas) ou Mouliné com 6 fios. Tb uso as agulhas da Bohin, excelentes e resistentes.

I bought these size 24 Tapestry blunt end needles before at Michaels, not really knowing much about needles at the time but just looking for something with a bigger eye since threading multiple strands of embroidery thread in a normal needle can be such a pain. I really started to love working with them. I love that they can easily thread 3-6 strands with no issues. I’ve also been teaching my nieces (ages 6,9,12) to embroider and I like that these were bigger for them to hold and thread and that they also had a blunter end so if they got pricked it wouldn’t hurt very much. I ended up buying more of these here on Amazon since they are my favourite needles and I’ve been handing them out to my nieces & mom. I find the eye is perfect for threading several strands (6 goes in pretty easily) yet the needle isn’t too big for the embroidery that it’s leaving a big hole if I’m only using 2-3 strands. I think I may even be able to use it with 1 strand. I’ve also used these with DMCs soft cotton thread (also knows as Retors Mat or Tapestry thread) it’s a bit bigger than a 6 strand embroidery thread and a bit smaller than yarn and I was able to work with it with no issues.These needles and the DMC size 24 Chenille sharp end needles are my favourite to use for embroidery now. I find the Size 24 Chenille ones are identical but just have a sharper point, so if I’m working with a material that’s a bit thicker or going over an area that already has a lot of thread down I’ll switch to the chenille ones. I do a lot of embroidery and find these are perfect. I just got my mom and aunt onto these as well, they are 53 & 65 and love that they are so much easier to thread. And I love that these are on Amazon so I can get them quickly without having to go to a store. I highly recommend these if you use 2-6 strands of embroidery thread or are just looking for a needle that’s easier to thread.
