The needle tops and eye have been gold plated to help the threads glide effortlessly through the eye and also to give a premium classy looking needle.

There are 6 needles in this pack.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tapestry\" title=\"Tapestry\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTapestry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e Needles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\"\u003e have a large eye which allows them to carry a heavier weight yarn than other needles.

The general convention for sizing of needles is within any given class of needle the length and thickness of a needle increases as the size number decreases.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eFor example, a size 9 needle will be thicker and longer than a size 12 needle. However, the needle sizes are not standardized and so a size 10 of one class may be (and in some cases actually is) either thinner or finer than a size 12 of another type. I think manufacturers do this just to confuse us… so a reminder is that, if you have a size relating to a needle diameter and length in one class of needle – don’t expect it to be the same in another class of needle!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\"\u003eTapestry Size 18\/22 (x6)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\"\u003eThis pack has 6 Tapestry needles ranging from size 18 to 22.
