This needle is made of two super fine pieces of metal, carefully joined at each end. By slightly bending the needle, the two separate, allowing you to easily thread the needle and work with small beads.

The larger space also means that you can thread through slightly larger cords, which allows for more decorative techniques. Also good for hiding the end of thread into a worked area of lace or other delicate item, as the fine wires can more easily pass through smaller holes.
