The Hemline Tapestry Needles (Size 18) are specifically designed for needlecraft enthusiasts, cross-stitchers, and embroidery artists who require a reliable tool for working with thicker yarns on open-weave fabrics. Their primary benefit is a blunt tip that prevents snagging or splitting the base material, ensuring a clean finish. While these are perfect for heavy-duty threads and yarns, they are not suitable for fine needlework or fabrics with a tight weave, as the needle thickness may create visible holes.

No, these are tapestry needles with a blunt, rounded tip specifically designed to avoid piercing the fabric weave.
They are not ideal for general sewing as the blunt tip will not penetrate dense fabrics like cotton or denim easily.
The size refers to the thickness of the needle. Size 18 is relatively thick, designed for working with heavy yarns and threads.
Each pack contains 6 high-quality size 18 tapestry needles.
They work well if you are using a large number of strands of embroidery floss, but for a single strand, a smaller needle size would be more appropriate.
Ensure your fabric weave matches the size of the needle; if the hole is too small for a size 18, consider using a thinner gauge needle.
Check the eye for any burrs and ensure the yarn being used is not too textured, which can cause friction damage.
To ensure the longevity of your Hemline Tapestry Needles, store them in their original packaging or a dedicated needle book to prevent moisture exposure. While they are made of durable metal, needles can rust if left in damp environments.

Care Tip: Wipe your needle with a dry, soft cloth after use to remove hand oils and perspiration, which can lead to oxidation over time.
