Great beading needles. Good tool to have in your jewelry making arsenal!!I wanted to increase the strength of stretch bracelets to 2 strands of Opelon nylon string for a heavier bracelet gift without making it on a wire string. These beading needles allowed me to do that. It was tight on a couple beads.Tip: a grippy silicon square will allow you to pull that needle through some tight diameter bead holes on double Opelon string.

This product was honestly disappointing I gave it to one of my employees to use to make bracelets and I got a report that it kept breaking no matter how gentle she was with it. Be careful it is very easy to break however easy to use and a fairly good price. Although I would not recommend it to anyone.

Ordered these to try to restring a 6 ft wide top down/bottom up shade and needed a thin needle to do so. At first, I thought I had to solder two together to create the "large eye". Finally realized this step was done as the wires are SO thin, it looked like one needle.They worked GREAT!VERY thin, but also very durable. If you need a long, thin needle, this is your go-to! I've never seen anything like it before. I kept an extra pack just for future use, as they were so inexpensive.(I also ordered a 6 or 7 inch (big eye) needle, but it was so thick, it would not fit through the guide holes of the cellular shade.)I can see how these are great for people working with beads... the needles are fine!The Bottom Line?Uncle Steve Approved!

The product finally arrived after a very unsuccessful first attempt. I waited for the item and decided to buy again. This item was exactly what I wanted and was hard to find. It did arrive the second time in a reasonable amount of time. The price is good for what I wanted and the product seems exactly as listed. Except for the undelivered first attempt, I recommend only if you plan receive it by USPS.

This is an amazing product!I'm a little worried about the durability - all of them are bent out of shape already, and I'm worried they'd break soon. This is only after a week of use. But LOVE these needles. Will purchase again.

Love these long "double needles" because they are so easy to thread. They are two needles fused at each end - carefully open them and slide the thread in, no need for squinting. I use these long needles for beading projects with size 11 delicas mostly but they are thin enough to use with most size 15 beads and sturdy enough to use with larger beads. The length of the needle "feels" right to me but that is a subjective thing. The only issue I have is that these needles will bend up with use - you can straighten them a certain number of times if you are careful but eventually a new needle is needed. I keep the bent up needles in a jar because they can still be used to thread larger beads, carefully pick apart tangles in thread and other odd jobs even after they are bent up.

these needles are a good length, but the silk thread gets caught on the ends and that causes the thread to fray. I use them for bead weaving.
