Lizette, From Javier's previous comments, I'd say he's talking about an embroidery needle.
Lizette Britz Feb 6, 2010:
Javier,

Tapestry needle is aguja de bordado. Is the one that is used for embroidery, cross-stich, etc. Crochet hook is aguja de ganchillo (at least in Spain).
Javier Moreno Pollarolo (asker) Feb 6, 2010:
The type of tapestry that's used to decorate table cloths, pillows, etc. That one.
margaret caulfield Feb 6, 2010:
No, they're not the same, Javier. But "tapestry" can be of the type that is hung on the wall or the type that's used for decorating servilletes, table cloths, cushion covers, etc. Which type of tapestry are you referring to? They have different names in Spanish.
Javier Moreno Pollarolo (asker) Feb 6, 2010:
Hi Margaret. I'm looking for the definition of "crochet hook" and "tapestry needle". They're not the same, right?
margaret caulfield Feb 6, 2010:
Javier, Are you looking for a crochet needle or a tapestry needle? After reading your comment, I'm rather confused.
