Beadsmith Big Eye Flexible Needle

Big Eye or Long Eye needles are created by soldering the ends of 2 pieces of wire together at the ends to form an eye large enough to allow virtually any item to pass through it and it has two sharp ends.  These flexible beading needles have a big eye nearly the length of the needle. The wire is very fine and flexible which allows the eye to collapse back into shape when pulled through each bead. and they are designed for use in jewellery making, bead weaving and stringing beads, sequins and pearls.

If you struggle to thread the eye of a beading needle then these are the needles for you. Simply slip your sewing thread, knitting yarn or crochet thread through the eye and you are good to go. We love using this needle to weave in loose ends when finishing thread as well as threading beads on knitting yarns. It is not recommended for free style bead embroidery or beadwork projects with tight tension.
