Hi all, I've been a little bemused by the discussion about threading needles. All I do is pinch a clean-cut end between thumb and index finger of one hand, completely covering the thread, then push the eye between the thumb and index fingers while gradually opening the fingers, until the thread has been pushed through the needle.
I confess I may lick the end if there are errant fibers, to get everything to lie together. Works for perle cotton and yarn if the cut end is still twisted and pinched hard.
