Needles – Size 7 Crewel Embroidery
The size 7 crewel embroidery needle is used in my 2-Sided Apple Blossoms and Blossom Branch kits.
The kits come with two needles but you may want to purchase more in case you mislay your needle.
The needle has a long eye for easier threading, a slender shaft and a sharp point to the needle so that the stitches can be worked close together and there is more control for the placement of the stitches.
