Needle size is denoted by one or more numbers on the manufacturer's packet. 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\"\u003e#1 Tapestry 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.
