Woolly Stitch

DMC Tapestry Needles No. 22 (Cross Stitch Needle)

Bring comfort and ease to your "Yoga for the Soul" projects with the DMC Size 22 Tapestry Needle. As one of the larger sizes in the tapestry family, the No. 22 is the perfect companion for 11-count Aida cloth, where a thicker needle is required to fill the holes and guide your thread smoothly. Its sturdy build makes it a favorite for "jiffy" projects that use multiple strands of floss or tapestry wool. 

The blunt points are a functional dream, engineered to slip between fabric, yarn, and ribbons without splitting the fibers. This makes them exceptionally versatile—not just for cross-stitch, but also for weaving in ends on your latest knitting project or assembling crochet motifs. Whether you are a "yarn hoarder" managing a thick stash or a beginner starting your first 11ct kit, these needles provide the "boutique" quality needed for a professional, "Zakka" finish. 


Why DMC Size 22 Needles are a Maker's Essential

  • Ideal for 11ct Fabric: The thicker gauge is perfectly matched to the larger holes of 11-count Aida, preventing the needle from getting "lost" in the weave. 

  • Large, Easy-to-Thread Eye: Designed to accommodate multiple strands of embroidery floss, tapestry wool, or even narrow ribbons. 

  • Blunt Tapestry Tip: Glides through the fabric’s natural openings rather than piercing the thread, protecting the integrity of your work. 

  • Durable & Smooth: Made from high-quality nickel-plated steel that resists corrosion and glides through the fabric like butter.
