Flexible Beading Needles are very useful tools due to a large, very easily threadable eye, which collapses when pulled through small hole beads. We have used them on size 10 seed beads. Our customers of all ages use these needles for various uses.Beadlooming, beadweaving and just straight threading beads are the most popular uses.
The needle is a twisted piece of steel wire. Very thin, very flexible and very easy to lose. Put them down on a white piece of paper! 7 cm in length.

 Thread heaven is an excellent thread conditioner and alternative to beeswax. Conditioning your thread is especially important when beadweaving as it helps prevent the thread from fraying or tangling it also helps prevent thread breakages. One packet lasts a very long time!
