Perfect for silk ribbon embroidery...chenille needles are large eyed needles and are identical to a tapestry or cross stitch needle in length and in diameter. However, the chenille point is sharp, rather than round and blunt. Our John James Chenille Needles (Size 24) are ideal for silk ribbons up to 7mm.
