Review on Effortlessly Sort Your Beading Needs With Beadsmith ColorEYES Needles – Size 12, 1 Pack (25 Needles), Ideal For Loom Weaving, Off-Loom Stitch, And Seed Bead Jewelry Making by Chris Nastanovich

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good price for 25 needles; only one had a blocked hole.

The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that one needle has a blocked eye hole — I checked all of them with 0.15mm (0.006”) Wildfire thermally bonded beading thread (similar to Fireline). I couldn’t unblock the eye with the point of another needle. I guess 1 bad one out of 25 isn’t too bad. I’ve bought this brand before, in other sizes, so I know about the colors wearing off over time. My solution is to put all the same-size needles in an empty bead tube and label it with the size & manufacturer. That way, I don’t have to rely on the different colors to find the size of needle I want to use.

Pros
  • I love working with these needles for my beading projects. The only setback is how easily they bend.
Cons
  • Buyer beware I Received size 11 needles (blue eye) instead of size 12 (red eye)
