Supplies Crafty Tip
Cross Stitch Needles: You will need a tapestry needle or one that is labeled for the count of cross stitch fabric you wish to use. Tapestry needles have a blunt end and a large eye for easier threading. Keep an extra needle in case the first one breaks or bends. There are nickel, gold and platinum plated needles. The gold and platinum needles last longer and slide easier than the traditional nickel plated needle. If you are a serious cross stitcher, you may want to consider gold or platinum.
