Silk needles have an extra-fine tapered, sharp point and a small round eye, like a “sharp.” They are ideal for hand sewing on fine fabrics like silk, high count linen, fine cotton, and the like. The extra-fine tapered tip of the needle slides into these tightly woven fabrics very easily. I love them for stitching on silk, silk satin, cotton batiste, and high count fine linen. What About You?

Just read your article and I’m glad you decided to try the Tulip needles! Very recently my supply of John James Platinum embroidery needles needed replenished, but I couldn’t find them anywhere. I discovered they no longer manufacture them, and their needles are now made in China. I’ve always liked and used John James, but concerned about quality, I decided to search for a new favorite needle.

So, it depends on the linen / cotton you use. If it has a weave that is “open” where your needle can slip into the weave, then that’s great. If you have to pierce through the weave of the fabric, then it’s kind of hard to do that with a tapestry needle – the needle would slip into the hole of the weave before it will pierce the fabric. This is why the tapestry needle is great for counted work, because it doesn’t pierce the fabric. It helps keep the placement of the stitches very precise.
