Tapestry Needle
A blunt-tipped needle with a large eye used for weaving in ends and sewing crochet pieces together.
Also known as a yarn needle or darning needle, this is the primary tool for finishing your work.
Features
- Blunt Tip: Unlike sewing needles, tapestry needles are blunt so they don’t split the yarn strands as you sew.
- Large Eye: Necessary to accommodate thick yarn.
Common Uses
- Weaving in Ends: Hiding the leftover “tails” of yarn inside the fabric so your work doesn’t unravel.
- Seaming: Joining multiple crochet pieces together (e.g., sewing a sleeve onto a sweater).
- Embroidery: Adding faces to amigurumi or decorative details to finished fabric.
