For Crewel Embroidery

No. 9 for light fabrics such as batiste, poplin, voile or chiffon. Embroidery needles are used on weft and warp fabrics from the thickest to the thinnest for all types of traditional embroidery.

They have a big eye that makes it possible to thread the cotton embroidery yarn (or yarns) through, which is thicker than a conventional sewing yarn. The embroidery yarn is shinier and will give a relief aspect to your work.
