Embroidery and tapestry needles
Round-tipped or sharp-tipped needles?
When we talk about embroidery needles, it generally refers to round-tipped needles. If embroidery needles are sharp, it is always specified as embroidery needles with a sharp tip. Round-tipped needles are used for cross stitch, and their size depends on the linen or Aida fabric you are working with. It can also depend on the thread you are using: it should pass through the eye of the needle without being damaged.
Sharp-tipped needles are suitable for so-called traditional embroidery, which is done on tightly woven fabrics.
As for tapestry needles, it is the same principle: if they are sharp, it is mentioned. Tapestry needles are generally blunt, which is more practical as it prevents them from piercing the canvas threads. However, in some cases, it can be useful for them to be sharp — for example, on Penelope canvas, to create series of four small stitches that give a raised effect. Large tapestry needles are often called Smyrna needles, named after the Turkish city (now Izmir), where wool carpets were made using, among other techniques, the Smyrna stitch.
Tapestry needles are also used for sewing up knitted pieces.
