What is a yarn needle?
A yarn needle, also known as a tapestry needle, is a large-eyed blunt needle that is typically made of metal or plastic. It is used to weave in the ends of yarn and sew pieces of crochet together. The eye of the yarn needle is large enough for most weights of yarn to fit through, and the tip is blunt so that it does not split the yarn.
Uses of a yarn needle
- Weaving in the ends of yarn: When you crochet, you will often have loose ends of yarn that need to be woven in. A yarn needle makes this process easier and less frustrating.
- Sewing pieces of crochet together: If you are making a project that requires you to sew pieces of crochet together, a yarn needle is the perfect tool for the job.
- Attaching buttons or other embellishments: If you're adding buttons or other embellishments to your crochet project, a yarn needle will help you to secure them in place.
