tapestry needle
Canvas-piercing wool tool
A tapestry needle is a large sewing needle with a blunt tip and an elongated eye, designed for stitching on loosely woven fabrics like canvas or needlepoint mesh.
The blunt point passes between threads rather than piercing them, and the large eye accommodates thick yarn or embroidery floss: I need a tapestry needle for this cross-stitch project.
