Good quality size I need.

from United States on 09/12/2025 - Lovely Needles
I've tried these size 28 Tapestry needles with a single strand of cotton floss for several weeks. They are lovely needles. Nicely rounded tip for sliding through linen and the eye is generous enough to thread the floss without too much grief. I have not tested these needles with silk floss.

from United States on 07/14/2025
I discovered Mary Arden needles a few years ago and have used nothing else since that time. I always try to have a couple extra packages on hand just in case.

from United States on 01/28/2024 - Mary Arden needles
needle shaft is very smooth

from United States on 09/21/2023 - Very nice
Love my English needles! Never had one break and price is reasonable.

from United States on 05/04/2023 - Best ever
These needles are my absolute favorite. I love that they feel strong in hand while stitching. They don't break or shred the embroidery floss or silk.

from United States on 02/02/2021 - Not blunt or dull needles
These needles seem fine for pretty much everything except cross stitch. The needles are NOT blunt/dull as the deion says they are. They are sharp and the sharp tip wanted to snag the fabric and thread as it went through. I used one for 5 minutes before I gave up and went back to the off brand needles I got at a local craft store.

from United States on 12/28/2020 - Quality needles
These needles are simply the best. They glide through the fabric like butter. They are fairly short, but I really like them and I have used them on 18, 25, 28 and 32 count fabric.

from United States on 08/03/2020
These, by far, are my favorite needles to work with. I use them on 1l,14,16 etc. The eye is larges enough to thread 3 strands of floss easily without being bulky. I have sizes,24 & 26, but love the 28 best. Happy stitching...

I have been stitching with tapestry 28 needles for the last 10 years doing sampler work on 36 and 40 ct linen and have been finding it increasingly harder to thread them using my dritz threader. Not only are these easier to thread but they aren't bending as quickly on me either which means they last longer.

from United States on 10/20/2018 - Perfect
Ive tried other needles, however these are my go to ones, I simply love them.

from United States on 11/07/2017 - Size 28 Needles
I tried this brand out for the fist time this past summer and I was very happy with the eyes of the needle. I do mostly sampler work and have been finding other popular brands of size 28 needles increasingly difficult to thread. I'm not having that issue with these.

from United States on 05/29/2017 - Cross stitch needles
I bought different needles to compare them. So far, the Bohin and Mary Arden are pretty close.

from United States on 12/20/2015 - absolutely the best
Switched to this needle when I started having severe quality problems with the DMC needles at my local craft store, and I couldn't be happier. The difference is night and day, I'll never buy DMC needles again.

from United States on 10/18/2015 - Excellent Needles
I have bought these needles for years because they are smooth to stitch with and they don't discolor quickly.

from United States on 08/26/2015 - Love
I have used these needles for awhile now and I love them, finally a needle that doesn't make me or my fabric turn green after a couple of days stitching.

from United States on 07/17/2015 - So far these are working great for me
I have a strange PH balance in my skin due to my medications. My needles normally turn dark or bend easily due to this. So far I have stitched with these needles for a week and there is no sign of discoloring. With other needles there would be signs of discoloration after a week. So far these are working great for me.

from United States on 02/21/2015 - Great needles
For someone with a nickel allergy these are super, they haven't discolored yet and I try and do some stitching every day on at lleast two or three projects.

from United States on 03/27/2014 - Very Nice
Very nice needles. I like using them on 28 count fabric in the confetti areas of a cross stitch pattern.
