Now for my favorite...silk ribbon!

Almost all silk ribbon embroidery is done with a chenille needle, but I do sometimes use tapestry petites. They are essentially the same needle, except that the chenille needle has a sharp point and the tapestry needle has a dull point.

• For 2 mm ribbon, use size 22 or 24
• For 3.5 mm or 4 mm, use size 22
• For 7 mm, use size 20
• For 13 mm, use size 18
