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. You get 25 needles in a package. They are quite inexpensive, so you can just discard them when they get too 'wiggly' to use. The needles measure 0.24mm in diameter (.0095 inches); they are 9cm long (about 3.5 inches). Sold in a package of 25 needles.
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.
Thin needles can be difficult to thread, due to the needle hole size, so we offer an "ultra fine" needle threading tool. This threader is designed for use with needles in the #13 size category.
