"I thought these needles we very good for stringing freshwater pearls. (The wire IS quite fine and it took me a little bit to get the hang of working with twisted wire though.)
I very much appreciated the size of the eye, which let me pull a double strand of thread through each pearl. I used knotting tweezers to bend open the eye up again after each strand and one needle lasted me through many strands.
The length of the needle also let me put several pearls on the needle and see how they would look next to each other before I pulled them onto the thread."8 of 8 people found this review helpful.
