Needles – Crewel Embroidery
Embroidery or crewel needles have 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.
The needles can be used for surface embroidery and sewing.
Crewel/embroidery needles are not suitable for counted thread work as the point of the needle would easily catch the threads of the fabric, distorting the counted work.
Size 10 are my choice needles for fine surface embroidery in which only one single strand of silk thread or embroidery cotton is used.
For very fine embroidery. when only using a single strand of fine thread or for sewing down No. 8, No. 9 and No. 10 gold purl threads use size 12 crewel embroidery.

DMC No. 282 Metallic embroidery thread is a light gold twisted cord on a 40 meter spool.
The thread is synthetic so will not tarnish and makes a good alternative to Elizabethan Twist and is approximately 0.30 mm across the width of the thread.
The cord is made up of three individual strands. The cord can be used as filling thread or an outlining thread. The three strands of the twist can be separated and sewn down singularly.
Twists are couched down by sewing the stitch at the same angle as the twist of the cord with the stitch hidden in the middle of the cord so it is invisible or the twists can be couched down with a stitch over the cord at a 90 degree angle.
