Voicing needles?

[Wayne Walker]

I looked for the glover needles at fabric stores, upholstery and leather
outlets. I had no luck so I ordered some from Pianophile. Only after getting
the needles I found out that they can destroy hammers. They tear the felt.
So I have gone back to the round needles, they take bit more effort to push
into the felt but cause no damage.

Hello,
 
1) Wondering why #6 glover needles are recommended for voicing, 
2) and why this size is generally not available in the local fabric stores,
3) and if #6 was not available, would it be better to use #5 or #7.
4)  What size needle do you use in your single needle voicing tool?
 
Thanks in advance for your response.
 
Lou
