What is a Needle Threader?
If you’re tired of trying to thread needles, which can take patience and skill, particularly when the eye of the needle is very small, you may want to look into purchasing a needle threader. Needle threaders are inexpensive tools, and you may already own one if you have a small sewing kit. A sewing kit, usually available for about $5-10 US Dollars (USD), frequently includes scissors, a few colors of thread, a thimble and a needle threader.

Some people take pride in threading needles on their own, but poor eyesight, lack of dexterity or simply a wish to thread a needle quickly, makes a needle threader invaluable. Most look like a small medallion, called the handle, with a wire doubled over and attached via a small hole in the top of the handle. The wire is flexible, so it can fit into the smallest of needle eyes, and is equally adaptive to use with larger needles like embroidery needles.
