Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does a big eye needle work?
A big eye needle has a wire loop that runs the full length of the needle. You push your thread into the split at any point and it grips it firmly — no eye-of-a-needle squinting required.

Q: What is the difference between 2.25" and 3.5" big eye needles?
The shorter 2.25" is better for close work and stringing individual beads. The 3.5" curved version is ideal for use with a bead spinner.

Q: How many are in a pack?
Each pack contains 4 needles.

Q: Will these work with Fireline or elastic cord?
Yes — the flexible big eye accommodates most thread types from fine Fireline to thicker elastic cord.
