I use sizes 26 (for Aida 16ct and Belfast Linen 32ct) and 28 (for Aida 18ct, Lugana 25 and for backstitches).
In UK I buy DMC or John James needles.

I use local needles, so there's no need to mention the name ))) always 32 count linen (or 16 Aida), tapestry needles - #26 for 2 threads or #24 for 4-5 threads.
