needle threader

Eye-threading helper tool

A needle threader is a small device that helps push thread through the eye of a needle.

The typical design has a thin wire loop that passes easily through the needle's eye; you push the thread through the loop, then pull the loop back, drawing the thread with it.

Useful for those with poor eyesight or unsteady hands.
