If you love hand-sewing but find that low light or a glasses prescription perhaps overdue for an update causes you headaches, these easy-threading needles are right up your alley. Their eyes have a barbed design that allows the sewist to simply push the thread in place, eliminating the hassle of typical needle threading. Made in Japan of nickel-plated steel, they're sharp, non-warping, and perfect for use with medium- to heavyweight fabric.
