Chenille Needles range in size from 13 (largest, shown here on the right) down to 24 (smallest, at left).

Chenille needles are sized in the same manner as tapestry needles, but differ in having a sharp point instead of a blunt point.

Chenille Needles are used for Candlewicking, Ribbon Embroidery and Advanced Cross Stitch patterns.
