You get five 'Big Eye' needles in this package. The 'Big Eye' is really two very slender needles that are attached together to form a huge eye that is simple to thread with any thread. These are a little longer than 2 inches (5cm) long and are thin enough to pass through the holes in most medium to large pearls, most gemstone beads and almost any glass bead. At the widest point, they measure about 0.6mm. You also get one of our Tri-Tube Storage Vials with the matching lid to keep your needles in when you aren't using them (or use the vial to store other jewelry supplies).
These thin twisted needles are easy to thread and will pass through the holes of the smallest pearls we carry. They are very flexible and work even after they get bent.
For people who prefer a very long, very thin needle for stringing pearls or other beads with very small holes (such as 2mm gemstone beads) we offer Pearl Stringing Needles.
"If you use thread, you should be using Thread Heaven". This thread conditioner and protectant reduces hand fatigue, prevents tangling and fraying, and doesn't melt.
