What are the Different Types of Needlework Needles?
Needlework needles may be one of four types of specialty needles, all of which are employed in a variety of ways. Crewel or embroidery needles have a sharp point and a long eye. The larger chenilles are made for embroidering with thicker material. Tapestry needles, in the same sizes as chenilles, are heavy needles with a blunt tip. Long, thin beading needles are made with beading and sequin work in mind.
