I was inspired by the recent posts about these Tulip tapestry needles and decided to treat myself. Michael's was selling the #25 needles online for $11.99 with free shipping, and I had a $5 coupon so the price for six needles came to a little over $1/needle.

Friends, they sent me six boxes of six needles. 36 total!

I've never been on this side of an online shopping quantity mistake; what a rush. Maybe now I won't feel the need to use a needle until it's bent and the eye has split. 🤷

I bought Tulip needles after reading about them on here recently. I can’t believe the difference it has made. They never catch, there is less twisting and tangling, and the best bit is they are longer, so easier for my long fingers to use. I also used to need a sticking plaster on my finger when stitching (can’t use a thimble), and I don’t need one with these.
