    Beading needle Mystery?

    Every time I take Egyptian costume apart I am mystified by the heavy thick cotton thread they are using. No way would this thread ever fit through my beading needles. The beading needles I buy to get through the tiny seed beads have a tiny eye.

    Does anybody know what kind of needles they use and where to get them? I hate those flimsy needles you buy here.

    Thank you for your help. :-)

    There are needles with pliable eyes that you can squish to make a bigger hole to thread and then release to hold the thread and fit through the small beads. I get mine at a local bead store where they have all sorts of specialty beading needles. You might be able to find them at a craft store like joanns or hancock, though I'm not sure.
