Embroidery sewing needles, often called Crewel Needles, are designed to be similar in length and diameter to Sharp needles, featuring a fine, pointed tip. What sets them apart is their long, extra-large eye, making it significantly easier to thread multiple strands of stranded cotton embroidery thread.
For embroidery on heavier fabrics using twisted yarn, sizes 1, 2, 3, and 4 are ideal—this technique is commonly known as crewel work. The most widely used embroidery needle size is 7, but if you prefer a finer, shorter needle, sizes 8, 9, and 10 are excellent choices.
Struggling to thread your needle? Switch to an Embroidery needle for general sewing—the elongated eye simplifies threading, making the process quicker and more efficient.
