🧵 John James English Beading Needles, Size 10, Pack of 25, Made in England, Ideal for Loom Weaving, Beadwork, Off-Loom Stitching, and Seed Bead Jewelry Making Review

I'm doing a project with size 18 and 15 beads and they work great. They break if you bend them too aggressively, which I did, but that's why I took a pack of 25 because I've used them before and I know I need a light touch when bending. But otherwise they are great. They don't fit my size 20 beads, but nothing fits.

These needles are long enough to hold many beads. The eyelet is small, which makes threading it a bit difficult, but it also goes well through small beads. I used number 8 beads, there was enough space. The needle is also slightly flexible, which is useful when weaving round shapes. One note: I had no idea I was getting so many needles - I thought it was only one pack but I got a small box!

I tried using beading needles #10, #13 and #15. Size 15 was too heavy to thread (the first one broke). Size 13 was ok but I wanted to see if I could do with something bigger. Size 10 was strong and easy to thread, but too big for some of my small beads. So I bought her. I am very happy with them and will use them often. I mostly use 4 lb test firelines with them. I don't find it too difficult, but I have a backlit magnifying glass that helps. Lately I haven't had very small pearls, mostly just…
