Tulip Beading needles are specially designed for beadwork. There is a needle for every beader and each purpose: a loom needle for loom beading; various sizes of beading needles for beadweaving / off-loom stitching; a twisted needle for stringing, bead crochet and kumihimo.
Tulip beading needles are easy to thread, bendable yet strong and warp resistant, with a slightly rounded point to avoid splitting the thread (except the size 10 sharp needle, meant for bead embroidery, having a point that pierces fabric easily).
These needles are ideal for bead stitching, thinner than size 11, allowing more passes in size 15/0 seed beads. These needles measure 47.5mm long by .35mm thick. There are 2 size #12 beading needles in a package and they do have small eyes. These needles are made of a Nickel plated Steel and were made in Japan by Tulip.
