Beadalon Collapsible Eye Beading Needles – 5" Assorted, Pack of 3

Beadalon's collapsible eye needles are a brilliant solution for anyone who struggles to thread traditional beading needles. The eye collapses flat as you push the needle through a bead, then springs open again — so you can use thick thread in a fine needle with ease. This assorted pack of three 5-inch needles gives you a range of sizes to suit different thread thicknesses and bead hole sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a collapsible eye needle?
A collapsible eye needle has a loop at the top that collapses flat when pressure is applied. This allows thicker thread to pass through bead holes that would normally be too small.

Q: What thread is this suitable for?
It works well with most beading threads including silk, nylon, and elastic cord. It is particularly useful when using thicker cords like Griffin silk or cotton.

Q: Are these suitable for seed beads?
They can work with larger seed beads (size 6–8) but fine seed beads (size 11–15) usually require standard fine beading needles.

Q: How many needles are in the pack?
The pack contains 3 assorted collapsible eye needles at 5 inches length.
