If you are looking for high-quality beading needles, you might want to try Pony Beading Needles. These needles are made according to the English beading needle standards, but they are stiffer and more durable. They are perfect for both bead weaving and stringing projects, as they have a smooth eye that is as thin as the rest of the needle. This means that the thread will not slip out of the needle, even when you pass through a bead multiple times. However, this also means that you need to use thinner beading threads, as the eye might be hard to thread otherwise. Each pack of Pony Brand Beading Needles includes six needles of each size: Size 10, Size 11, and Size 12. You also get a flower-shaped needle threader to make your threading easier. Size 10 needles are ideal for seed beads size 11/0 and larger, Size 11 needles are ideal for seed beads size 15/0 and larger, and Size 12 needles are ideal for seed beads size 15/0 that require multiple passes. Made in India.
