About Beading Needles

Beading needles can come in extremely useful if the stringing material you are using is very flexible, they can make a daunting threading task much more enjoyable and are great for stacking beads and threading them in multiples. We stock 2 styles of beading needles, standard Beadsmith beading needles that are stiff enough to sew through fabric and are available in 4 different sizes and flexible twisted wire beading needles in two sizes with collapsible eyes for easy threading. It is important that you choose the right size needle for the task in hand making sure your beads thread easily over the needle. Hold your needle and thread against a light back ground.
