[Nfb-krafters-korner] question about size of tapestry needles

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

A  size 16 should do.  I have no trouble getting the yarn in like I explained in my e-mail about needles.  I would not go any larger than maybe an 18.  You do not want the yarn to fall out while working and you want the needle to go through the stitches easily.

Terry, As she explained in her first email regarding this, she uses it to whip stitch her crocheted things together.  So she is using a piece of yarn and needs a size large enough for her to get the yarn through the eye of the  needle.  So what size do you use?  If the number of the size goes up  is that a larger needle?
