Day 533: Through the Eye of a Needle

I added this new photograph to Creative Journey in my Photography section, Embroidery: LoRan Needle Threader

This is my very favorite needle threader!

Instead of having a thin flexible wire hoop, this threader has two sizes of hooks. Slip one hook through the eye of the needle. Place a loop of thread in the hook. Pull through. It's much simpler and sturdier than the wire threaders.

True, if you have to use a really small needle, like a beading needle, even the small hook is too big. But for most needles used for counted cross-stitch — tapestry needles in sizes 18 through 28 — this needle threader works great!
