Big Eye Needle
Long needle, big eye! Small enough to string seedbeads, but with an eye that you can thread easily. The secret is, that it is actually two very fine wires, attached at one end. The other end is open. Separate the wires, insert your thread, and away you go! A blessing for those with aging eyes!

Needle Threaders
For threading your needles. Poke the fine wire loop through, and slip in the thread, and pull it back. The wire does tend to pull away from the handle if you over stress it - and there are limitation - if the thread is too big for the eye - these aren't going to fix that! However, they have their uses. By the pack of 5.

hel9858
Needle - 7 inch Hook Needle for Spin a bead - (1)
This is the large, hooked needle for the spinning bead tool. Use this to load even more beads faster onto thread. Hold the needle, hook down, and horizontal, in the beads and spin the bowl with the other hand, spinning so the beads flow towards the point. They will snag on the needle and start to push up the needle. Note, it is a biggish needle, with an eye you can even see - but the downside is that some of the beads will not fit. If the beads stop climbing up the needle, check to see if a small one has jammed. Sometimes, the bead jams at the eye. Instead of unthreading beads to take that one off - use a pair of pliers to carefully crush that one bead. In particular, the size 11/0 silver-lined red beads are giving me grief - maybe one in five is too small. The others are flying right up though! Marg tells me that she is having no problem with hers so we think I just have a batch of small-holed silver-lined beads. C'est la bead. Stick the end of the needle into an eraser when you aren't using it - they are too darn pricey to lose! Comes with an instruction sheet. 180mm By the each.

74323005
Needle - 4 inch Long Needle - Nickel (5)
Long, straight needle - works well with the spin-a-bead or bead spinner. Takes seed beads down to size 11/0 (except some of the smaller, silver-lined. Due to the variable nature of the Czech seedbeads, some just have smaller holes, especially the silver lined ones.) You can really load up the need and thread 'em fast. Does not include the sharpie, which is there solely as a size reference. Needle size #115, .57 mm in diameter. 110mm By the pack of 5.

Soft Touch Needle (pack)
oh, these are Fabulous! Use these with SoftTouch, PowerPro or any of the strong light lines that are too thick for a regular needle, and not quite strong enough to not need a needle. Slices stringing time into a fraction, especially that tricky going back through the beads to finish off part. I love mine!

helsfsb019 New
Needle - 1.5 inch Speeder Beader Needle - .019 (1)
Speed up your beading with Softflex(tm) (and other) beading wire/cable. This needle is a hollow tube, and instead of an eye, it has a cut-away top. You slide the wire down inside the needle, and then bead away. The rigid needle is much faster and less frustrating than stringing onto a slightly flexible cable. The only down side is that, being a little larger than the wire, it won't go through all the same beads. This fits the .019 (medium) wire / cables. I consider them a necessity. By the each.
