Beading needles are specialized sewing needles designed for threading beads onto string or wire. They are typically longer and thinner than regular sewing needles, allowing them to easily pass through small bead holes. Their flexibility helps in maneuvering through intricate beadwork patterns. These needles come in various sizes to accommodate different bead types, from tiny seed beads to larger decorative ones. Some beading needles have a larger eye, making it easier to thread thicker threads or multiple strands. Using the right beading needle can enhance the quality and efficiency of beadwork projects.
