The Big Eye

 

The Big "Eye"
For ease in threading needles needles

This handy tool makes threading just about anything a snap. Essentially, the "eye" of a needle, you can use it to thread yarns through beads or thread through needles, as small as a size 8. In addition, these threaders work wonders with elastic thread!

How does this work? Use your finger nail or another needle to pry open your needle, so it makes a gap. Then, with the gap opened wide, you can insert your thread, just like you would through an "eye" of a regular needle! Once it is looped, put either end through the "eye" of the needle you desire to thread, and pull.
