BEADING NEEDLES

     Tulip Needles

These are the premium brand beading needles.  Ideal for beading  & bead embroidery.  The tip is slightly rounded to avoid splitting the thread.    Tulip Beading Needles are springy and strong to resist warping and breaking. Tulip beading needles' points are specially designed to ease between beads and avoid splitting the thread. Tulip beading needes' eyes are smooth and easy to thread.    Will bend to go through tightly spaced beads, and straighten up after you have passed through them.   Watch this youtube video about Tulip Needles:

      Big Eye Needles

These beading needles have two pieces of metal attached at either end of the needle, so that the "hole" is almost the full length of the needle.    These are great to use with Organza Ribbon .

     Twist Wire Needles (aka Collapsible Needles)  

These needles are twisted wire with a loop at one end.  They are used to go through beads when the regular straight needles can't fit, such as when you've gone through a bead many times with the thread.   Most people like to have two sizes of these on hand.
