John James Tapestry / Cross Stitch Needles (England) Size 24/26

Discover a flawless tool for your creativity with the professional John James JJ19846 tapestry needle set! Made in England, these needles have been considered the gold standard among stitchers worldwide for decades. They are designed to make cross-stitch, tapestry, and counted thread embroidery as comfortable and fast as possible.

The main advantage of these needles is their thoughtful design. The special blunt, rounded tip glides easily and smoothly between the fabric threads, gently parting them without damaging the fibers. In addition, the needles have an enlarged eye, making threading (even with wool or multiple strands of floss) incredibly quick and easy, while protecting the thread itself from fraying.

This mixed set contains the most popular sizes among stitchers, #24 and #26, making it a versatile assistant for projects of varying complexity.

Where is the best place to use these needles?

• On classic Aida fabric (14, 16, and 18 count).

• On evenweave and linen fabrics.

• On stiff plastic canvas and perforated paper.

• Ideal for working with stranded cotton (floss), soft embroidery cotton, and tapestry wool.

Specifications:

• Quantity: 6 pieces per pack.

• Material: High-quality polished steel.

💡 Tip for stitchers: Choosing the right needle thickness is the key to perfectly even stitches! Use size 24 needles for 14-count Aida or 28-count evenweave (when stitching over two threads). The finer size 26 needles will be your perfect choice for a tighter fabric16-18 count Aida and 32-count evenweave. With John James needles, your stitches will always be neat, and the embroidery process will bring you nothing but pleasure!
