Tapestry needles are sometimes referred to as Cross Stitch sewing needles. They have a large eye and a blunt round point and are especially adapted for the use in needlepoint and cross stitch.
Gold Plated Tapestry / Cross Stitch sewing needles are a luxury needle every serious needle enthusiast should own and they make an ideal gift for the discerning sewer. The gold plating allows the tapestry / cross stitch needle to slip through the fabric beautifully and with ease. This results in less friction and indeed quickens the art of sewing.

from United States on 07/29/2022 - Make stitching easier These needles have a nice feel to them and make going thru fabric much smoother and easier. Love them!
from United States on 04/11/2022 - very nice Not sure what I can say about needles. They are nice and easy to work with. I like them.
from United States on 11/05/2021 - Needles Have used the gold plated needles for years. Really like them!
from United States on 09/11/2019 - Beautiful quality needle These needles feel great in the hand and slide through fabric like butter. The gold finish seems to wear well, too - unlike the gold-plated DMC needles, which seem to flake off entirely after about 10 hours of use. Oddly enough, both the eye and shank seem slimmer than my other brands size 26's, so they're actually a bit too small for my current Aida project - but I'll definitely be using them for detail work backstitching, etc. and other projects with a finer weave fabric.
from United States on 12/15/2016 - Wonderful! High quality and I will buy them again.
from United States on 10/19/2016 - I like John James Needles The gold needles take the edge off of a pattern that is very multi-colored. John James needles are fine they provide a large needle hold, strength and sharpness.
from United States on 03/21/2015 Top of the line in needles!
from United States on 11/17/2014 - John James gold needles Excellent needles will buy again smooth as silk.
from United States on 05/14/2014 - Excellent needles John James manufactures the BEST needles I've ever used for my cross stitch projects, and I think I've tried just about every brand on the market. I will now only use John James for my needlework as they are quite simply the best quality available.
