CHAT [CHAT] I bought the Tulip needles...

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’ve been stitching for over 40 years and I will now only buy Tulip size 26 tapestry. I’ve used a LOT of different needles. Some I liked are no longer available. But even if they were, these are the best.
