Particularly well suited for background areas where large amounts of thread are required. Tapestry yarn is made exclusively for needlepoint and is created with short, strong fibers to keep its shape and firmness no matter how many stitches are worked to complete a needlepoint project. Knitting Yarn will stretch and rip with the constant pull of stitches through the canvas. Tapestry Yarn will give your needlepoint projects a durable, smooth and even finish; which is why it should be chosen as often as possible to work upholstery pieces that will see lots of wear and constant use. If you want to use more than one strand you will need a larger eyed needle. Recommended Use: 13 mesh use one strand 18 mesh can be couched but not recommended for stitching.
