Clover 339 Tapestry Needle Set – 3 Needles in Screw-Cap Tube

Clover 339 tapestry needle set – yarn-friendly needles in a screw-cap tube

The Clover 339 tapestry needle set contains 3 tapestry needles in sizes 13, 17 and 20, plus a storage tube with a screw cap. You need it for hand knitting, to sew in ends and join knitted pieces.

According to Clover, the needles have rounded tips that prevent the yarn from splitting. The yarn stays smooth as you sew in ends, and you do not pierce individual strands. The tube is shaped like a knitting needle. With the screw cap, the needles stay together and do not get lost in your knitting bag.

Which needle for which yarn?

With three sizes in the set, you have a suitable needle for yarns of different thicknesses. With tapestry needles, the higher the number, the finer the needle, as a rule. So no. 20 suits finer yarns and no. 13 thicker ones. Choose the needle so that the yarn passes easily through the eye and can be drawn through the stitches without resistance.

Sewing in ends

Thread the loose end and pass the needle through the stitches along the edge of the work on the wrong side of the knitting. Work a short way in one direction, then back a little, so the end does not come loose. Do not pull the yarn too tight, or the fabric will pucker. Then trim the end close to the work.
