With the help of this simple object on the surface of the canvas, the skillful hands of the embroiderer create a world that will not leave indifferent any person who looks into it for a moment.

The necessary item for thread embroidery is a needle. A needle, like all other metal products, transmits energy to whatever it touches. It is difficult to imagine the energy field of an embroidered picture, which the needle pierced hundreds of times. Therefore, it is extremely important to embroider in a good mood with positive thoughts.

When choosing an embroidery needle, you need to consider the length, thickness, strength and shape of the point. The needle is selected according to the embroidery technique and the canvas on which the work is performed. On fabrics with a high density, it is necessary to use needles with a sharp end. Needles with a blunt end and a long eye are used for counted types of embroidery. Needle manufacturers recommend using the following recommendations when choosing a needle size:

Aida 820, 22
Aida 1122, 24
Aida 1422, 24, 26
Aida 1824, 26
Aida 2024, 26


The length of the needle is determined individually depending on the need. The main rule when choosing a needle is to make it comfortable to hold the needle in your hands while embroidering.
