Cross stitch needle size
The rule of thumb is to use a needle that when threaded does not
enlarge the hole of your aida, or linen. Of course, it also depends on your
personal preference, and do be aware that a # 28 is not just a thin needle, but
a short one as well.
Here is a helpful little chart with the measurements for both
imperial, and metric fabric size.
