I have no idea what sizes I use But I do know I prefer needles with bigger eyes. It all depends on preference really :3

Someone on here sells them too. I just can't remember who it is!! Try searching for the post, her needles looked really good

You want to use tapestry needles; they have big eyes I made my own.
Maniah sells them, but I messaged her recently and she said she is unable to make more atm.

try this I personally cut my own, I find the dollyhair ones are too closed in at the top. I like em nice and big to scoop up the hair better

havent tried DH's needles before, but i bought one off of Maniah here and so far have only broken one needle in the year or two that ive been using it. =]

I use DMC's size 22 tapestry needle, they work great. I tried cutting some different brand, but they kept breaking on me.

Hey, just stumbled across this and it reminded me that I needed to open my shop back up! I'm currently able to cut needles again and make tools I'd had carpal tunnel surgery last month, and had a busy schedule in general, but as of today I am officially selling tools and spare needles again.

Thank you for your patience to all who had PMd or emailed me!

Exactly what I use.  I sometimes swap with a size 24 if I find I'm chipping paint at the plug holes.  Just cut it with some wire cutters.

Yup, the 24 works well too.
