690M
The major advantage of a twisted beading needle is the large collapsible eye that makes it extremely easy to thread.
Twisted beading needles come in light, light-medium, medium-heavy and heavy duty. Use light needles for smaller (2-3mm) beads and freshwater pearls, light-medium and medium-heavy needles for 4-8mm beads and heavy needles for beads larger than 8mm and large-holed beads.

Step
1
Cut a length of stringing material the length needed for your project.
Step
2
Hold the twisted beading needle in one hand and the thread in your other hand. Pass the thread through the eye of the needle.
Step
3
 |  | Place the first couple of beads in the design onto the needle. |
Step
4
 | | Pull the beads down the needle and onto the thread.
Note: Pulling the beads past the eye of the needle will cause the eye to collapse. You may feel a bit of resistance on the first pass of beads and that is normal. There will be less resistance when stringing on additional beads. |
Step
5
Continue to string on the remainder of the beads in the design.
