DMC 1767-28 Tapestry Hand Needles, 5-Pack, Size 28

The latest version of these needles is the best yet. The long eyes make threading easier and they now stand up well when stitching. They feel heavier than my older DMC size 28 tapestry needles, both the long eyed and the more oval eyed ones. I've always preferred DMC to other brands now I'm glad I stuck with them.

They work perfectly.

I'm doing a cross stitch on linen and these needles I found to work best. I tried a number of sizes and types and these give me the best stitches. I've bought a large number so I can keep the different colors of floss threaded and ready for when I change colors.

Good needles. I love DMC so I knew this wouldn’t disappoint. Threads well and feels pretty sturdy.

Good needles. Perfect for cross stitch.

DMC usually makes a good product. The oils in my skin tend to pit needles causing them to catch tiny pieces of thread. These last longer for me than other brands. Good size for 18 ct aida fabric.

I’ve tried so many brands of needles… In the same size & type (#28 tapestry), I have Bohin, John James, random-Amazon-brand, and these. While I don’t notice a HUGE or “game-changing” difference between any of them, the DMC needles are most definitely the best to me. The eye-end is a little more flexible/prone to warping than I anticipated but the sheet smoothness of how well they glide through my Kona, how easy they are to thread, and the price makes up for it completely. I use 28 & 26 the most regularly, sometimes 24. DMC beats them all for me, they just don’t stick or squeak at ALL.

Used this product mainly for cross stitch projects
