yarn needle

Blunt sewing tool

A yarn needle is a large needle with a blunt tip and an oversized eye, designed for sewing with yarn rather than thread.

Used in knitting and crochet to weave in loose ends, seam pieces together, or add embroidered details to finished work: I need a yarn needle to finish this sweater.

Also called a tapestry needle or darning needle.
