FAQ

I want to use very small beads but am finding it

hard to get a threaded needle through the hole.

Is there another method I can use to thread the

beads onto the yarn?

Yes, as long as your yarn is not so thick that it can’t be

threaded into the hole of the bead at all. To thread tiny

beads onto fine yarn, you can use a beading needle

threaded with thin thread to bring your yarn through the

hole. Simply loop the thread around a fold in your yarn

and then insert both ends of the thread into the eye of the

needle. Slide the bead over the needle and then pull the

needle, the thread, and the yarn through the bead hole.
