These are the best thing since sliced bread for weaving in yarn ends on knit or crochet projects. Flexible, the whole things opens slightly to make threading a snap, and there is no "eye" at one end, so you can just turn it over to go in another direction, making it easier to weave in short lengths (there is a YouTube video that demonstrates what that means). I keep several sets on hand in case I lose my favorite size and give these as gifts to my crafty buddies.
Great for those times when you didn't leave quite enough yarn to weave your ends in. Just put the yarn in, slide it through a few stitches, slide the yarn to the other end of the needle and slide through the yarn in the opposite direction again. Makes finishing easy. Cheapest price I've found on these as long as you order enough items to forgo the shipping charges Amazon charges now.
These needles are absolutely wonderful! What an ingenious idea -- the entire needle serves as the "eye" so no contortions are necessary when they are used to work in yarn ends or sew knitted/crocheted pieces together.
I was so happy to find these weaving needles aka tapestry needles. When I weave in the ends on my knitting projects, it becomes difficult to weave in the last short ends. Now, however, with these new needles, I can slide the yarn down the shaft of the needles, which allows me to weave in the last bits of yarn.
The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that, because these are made out of plastic, there are a couple places that have bits of plastic sticking out. However, I was able to easily file them down, with an emery board.
These work so much better than a needle for finish work or any type of needle work that you have to hide the ends of the thread. Also, they are great for fixing snags on sweaters or other types of fabrics. I would differently recommend this product for not only the needle worker but also to have in the house to fix snags.

THESE ARE AMAZING! I despise weaving in ends after finishing a project, and often fear the ends will come undone.
With these, I can leave shorter tails, secure ends better, knot easier, and be confident that my hard work will not come unraveled!
My favorite tool! I received as a gift and fell in love with them and have been talking about how great they are since then. The design lets you slide the yarn back and forth enabling you to weave in short threads. At first you don't think much of them because they're plastic but again they are my favorite knitting tool.
work really well for those short little tails of yarn that you need to tuck in, for tails that are several inches long I personally still like a regular yarn needle but when they are only an inch or less these are great.
This is my second time buying these. I gave the second set to a friend. If you have small ends to sew in, this is your best friend. Love, Love, Love them. Perfect sizes for any yarn or even thread.
A new friend gave me one of these needles as a friendship gift from one avid crocheter to another, and didn't even tell me what it was called, so it was a bit of a treasure hunt to find more, just in case. These finishing needles are the greatest thing for weaving in ends. They almost make the tedious task enjoyable.
Anyone who works in yarn should have at least one of these. They have pointy ends and in the middle is one great big eye, so threading is a breeze.
