What Is a Crewel Needle
A crewel needle is an embroidery needle with a sharp point that penetrates dense woven fabrics such as linen, cotton and poplin, and a long eye that takes several strands of embroidery floss without fraying them. It suits freehand embroidery, crewel embroidery with wool thread, and embroidery on clothing.

Crewel embroidery with fine wool thread.
Embroidery on clothing, tablecloths and towels.

Professional Tips
Match the needle size to the number of strands: more strands, bigger needle.
Work with a thread length of about 40 cm so it doesn't tangle and fray.
Return the needle to the pack at the end of the work.
Common Mistakes
Embroidering on Aida cloth with a sharp needle. For cross-stitch, a blunt needle is the right choice.
A thread too thick for the eye. It frays and breaks.
