Excellent presentation! I've practiced crocheting most of my life, but I'm now starting to learn how to bead crochet. Your needle tutorial is awesome, thank you so much!

Hello there! What's the best size needle for 2mm seed beads? 😊

[@NathanB763]

Thanks, excellent summary! It was very helpful for a beginner (me).

[@vngize]

It'd help if you did a close up

[@retrowan1]

what should i use if my beads are VERY small ?

[@sarahbailey6996]

I had big eye needle but could not get my bead off it and my thread so could not use them

[@helentew1453]

I find it really hard to thread a needle these days, it really upsets me when I can't thread my needle so I can bead....

[@beadalon]

I'm sorry to hear this. There's a lot of little techniques you can use to thread a needle. Check out one of our recent Facebook Live videos to see some of Meredith Roddy's tips and tricks!

I like the quick info. It would have been much more educational if you had an overhead shot and zoomed in MUCH closer. Even with me zooming in manually on my laptop, I could not clearly see what you were demonstrating most of the time. Moving on...

Can I use these needle for peyote or seed beads proyects?

[@beadalon]

Yes you can!

I bought size 12 hard beading needles with the threader included. I tried to use it with Nymo thread but the thread would break as I tried to pull it through the hole. What needle do you recommend for using with Nymo?

[@meredithroddy9298]

Hi Colin, what size Nymo are you using? How is it breaking? Is it fraying or snapping? Are you conditioning your thread before putting it through the needle?
