Tapestry needles have a blunt, rounded point that does not damage the ground material and helps to make a more even stitch. This type of needle is designed to be used on even weave ground materials, including cotton and linen, as well as canvas and plastic canvas. It is often used for working cross stitch designs.
Also known as cross stitch needle.
