Colonial Needle CNT-1 2-In-1 Needle Threader, Multi-Colour

This is a traditional needle threader with a twist. It has two sizes of threader, one for normal cotton/polyester thread and one for heavier yarn. It comes in a pen shape and the threaders are protected within the pen. You just pop them out and push the rounded end into the end of the pen. This threader is also less easy to lose than my older tiny traditional threaders - I just pop it upright in the container with my other small craft items. I have not had the threader for long so I can't say how robust it is. The smaller threader does look very fine compared to some but, so far, I have not had any problems. This item wasn't cheap but it does the job well. It was worth waiting for it to arrive from the USA.

Great idea for threading needles. I never used to have a problem threading needles, but my eyesight has slightly deteriorated, so was having occasional problems when sewing, this threader is easy to use, and has not broken like cheaper versions.

Arrived promptly. Does the job as it should. More sturdy than ones I have had before, but looks fragile so am being very careful with it.

This is simple but it works really well, and stores safely to keep the fine threading wires safe from being bent. Very clever!

i cross stitch, best ever i have used, the long handle is great. and the large eye, do you sell the threaders seperately in multi packs,

I bought these in my search for a decent needle thread for embroidery floss/yarn - up to six strands. These 2 threaders are stronger than the standard ones which break immediately you try to use them for embroidery. However, they share the same problem of being very unstable. The wire itself bends out of shape easily, and they aren't really strong enough to pull through more than a couple of strands of embroidery for long. The smaller one broke within a week - the wire twisted and then split. The larger one broke on the day I started to use it - the wire pulled away from the threader. The usual story! When will someone make a decent needle threader, designed for embroidery, which can handle six-strand embroidery yarn, but does not assume you are using a giant needle!

When you cannot see to thread needle this is ideal to use.

Large threader came apart first time it was used. Completely irrepairable.
