Hello All! Just wanted to clarify which needle I used, so I posted a photo to Flickr. One pack is fine, the other heavy--I used the fine. I believe the needle that Cindy referred to is another type. The Big Eye needle that I'm familiar with is more like two wires stuck together at each end. The entire needle is split down the center longitudinally & you can put yarn, ribbon, thick thread etc. thru because the opening is very large. They are also several inches long--maybe 4" or so. I have used both types, but used the ones I posted to Flickr for my egg trail. Cindy is quite right, a good bead shop will stock both kinds so you can pick the one(s) that work for your project. As I type this, now I wonder if this would be a terrific way to load beads on lace thread?? Hmmmm. If someone tries this, please let us know the results! Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA
