Frequently Asked Questions

What is a size #22 embroidery needle used for?
Size #22 is a medium-sized embroidery needle with a sharp tip. It works well with 3–6 strands of standard embroidery floss on medium-weight fabrics like cotton and linen. It’s one of the most commonly used sizes for general hand embroidery.

What is the difference between sharp and blunt needles?
Sharp needles pierce through fabric threads — ideal for hand embroidery on woven fabric. Blunt (tapestry) needles slide between threads — better for cross stitch on Aida fabric and needlepoint. For hand embroidery on cotton or linen, sharp needles are the correct choice.

What thread works best with size #22 needles?
Size #22 works well with 3–6 strands of DMC or similar stranded embroidery floss, as well as silk thread and fine cotton thread. For fewer strands or finer work, consider a smaller needle size.

Are these needles rust-resistant?
Yes. Stainless steel is naturally rust-resistant and stays smooth over time, ensuring your thread glides through the eye without catching or fraying.

Why buy 100 needles?
Having a large supply means you can pre-thread multiple colors at once, always have a spare if one bends or is lost, and share with a class or crafting group. At this quantity, the per-needle cost is excellent value.
