needle threaders

Loop through metal

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

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

Useful for people with poor eyesight or unsteady hands: I can't sew without my needle threader anymore.
