This is my favourite needle threader ever. It has one job (to help you thread your needle more easily) and it does that job superbly, without breaking. Unlike classic needle threaders made with wire, this is a sturdy stainless-steel plate that won’t fall apart when threading thick thread and yarn.

This needle threader is made for needles with long eyes (3mm+), such as embroidery, sashiko, tapestry and darning needles. It’s too large to use with most traditional hand-sewing needles but works well with:

• Olympus sashiko needles
• Clover darning needles
• 6 out of 10 needles in the Prym yarn darners set
• 10 out of 12 needles in the Birch darners set
• Many of the needles in the Prym Combi Card

Features:

• Does its job without breaking (gosh, it’s a low bar, but it’s true!)
• Suitable for thin and thick threads, including sashiko thread, embroidery thread, mending yarn and knitting wool
• Two open hooks (3mm and 6mm wide) suit different needle sizes
• Hole in the middle allows for attachment to a necklace or thread so it’s less likely to become lost
• Sticks to magnets, for those who use magnets in their mending kits or for pin/needle storage

Made in China from stainless steel and packaged in a cardboard sleeve by the manufacturer.

Slow mode

This shop is in slow mode so I can do alllll the things – including running this shop and running after two tiny tots – and enjoy my life. Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.

I'm currently dispatching orders once a week; place your order by 5pm Thursday Melbourne time (AEST) for dispatch by Monday.
(NOTE: I drop off most orders at my local post office on Fridays, but I'm told they don't physically leave the post office and start making their way to you until Monday.)

If you select Express Post at checkout, it will speed up Australia Post's delivery timeframe but won't speed up my process.

After your order has been packed, you will receive an email notification with your Australia Post tracking number, which you can use to check on the delivery status of your order.

Local delivery

Customers in Northcote, Thornbury and nearby suburbs (subject to capacity) can select local delivery at checkout. Local delivery is extra-slow and coincides with my pram-walking/kid-wrangling schedule, up to one week after purchase. ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶
