The BeadSmith Assorted Sizes Big Eye Beading Needles 6-Pack
This six-pack assorted size, big eye beading needle pack is a must-have. The needles range in size from 2 inches in length as the shortest and work up to 5 inches in length as the longest. When we say big eye, we are not joking. These needles are connected on each side with the rest of the needle being the eye! Any project from now on will be a breeze with these easy-to-use and versatile beading needles. With six different sizes to choose from, you are sure to be on your way in no time! As with all needles, be careful as the ends are sharp.

Pros: Size, Price, Versatile, Unique, Ease of Use, Quality
"i use these needles for everything! like the shorter ones for threading other needles, and the longer for bead stringing.
- forget all those lame tips "how to thread a small eye needle;" i haven't found a needle eye that one of these won't thread and in a flash. just open the huge eye with your finger nail, slip in the stringing medium, slip needle in eye of needle you want to thread and you are set. i haven't threaded a "regular" needle any other way since in found these.
- also love these for stringing beads using a non-elastic material. these needles are fairly rigid and fit through most holes.
- also great for gifts - you will get oohs & aahs from friends, particularly the less-sighted older ones. 'package' on a piece of dark (so needle shows up) ribbon/material and the recipient will always be able to find needles, if they put back.
- after many uses the eye does tend to stay open & you may have to run them through something to 'straighten' and 'pull eye opening back together.'
- when stringing with elastic through a tight hole these tend to cut the elastic as the sides of the eye are fairly rigid; i use BeadSmith Beading Needles on elastic.
- they are really easy to lose - see my gift tip!
- the description says, "be careful as the ends are sharp" and they are VERY SHARP!"

Not impressed
Date:July 5, 2011
Cons: Ease of Use
"I bought these because I thought they would be easier to thread and they are but they are horrible for working with seed beads. I had a hard time getting them through the seed beads and even had some shatter while using these needles."
