Ditch the lick 'em and stick 'em approach to threading your tapestry needles. Needle threaders come in various shapes and sizes, and make threading any needle quick and easy.
Craft, sewing and needlework shops carry theaders for both fine threads or yarns. The type of threader you select depends on the type of yarn being used and the size of the eye of the tapestry needle.
Wire threaders are used for finer threads such as sewing thread, single plies of Persian yarn, singles plies of crewel yarn, fine decorative threads and fine-gauge pearl cotton.
Chunkier threaders are meant for use with multiple plies of Persian wool or crewel yarn, tapestry wool, large-gauge pearl cotton, knitting and crochet-weight yarns, and chunkier decorative threads.
Next, I'll show how to use the threader.
