As the rounded tip does not penetrate the fibres, but rather pushes them aside, the tapestry needles are especially suitable for embroidery with coarser materials such as wool. The needles with the symmetrically punched eye are made of absolutely burr-free hardened steel. For the threading of thicker yarns or wool, the eye in embroidery needles has to be correspondingly large. The balanced ratio of length and strength gives the needles their good use flexibility. The Prym range offers tapestry embroidery needles with blunt point on a card of 6 units in assorted sizes no. 18 to 24.
