How do you put string on a sewing needle?

Published in Sewing Basics 2 mins read

To put string (or yarn) on a sewing needle, you can use a technique that involves wrapping the yarn over your finger and rubbing the needle against it.

Simple Method for Threading a Needle

This method, as described in the provided video reference ![Part of a video titled The Easiest way to Thread a Needle. It's Like Magic! - YouTube](), can help you thread a needle efficiently:

  1. Prepare the Yarn: Take your yarn and wrap it over the edge of one of your fingers.
  2. Position the Needle: Hold the needle so that the eye (the hole) is near the wrapped yarn.
  3. Rub the Needle: Rub the eye of the needle back and forth against the yarn.
  4. Check for Threading: You should see the yarn thread through the needle's eye.


Step Description
1 Wrap the yarn over your finger.
2 Position the needle's eye near the yarn.
3 Rub the needle back and forth against the yarn.
4 Verify that the needle is threaded.



This method is a fast and easy way to thread a sewing needle, especially when dealing with yarn. The video reference [0:38-2:46] demonstrates how the friction created by rubbing the needle across the yarn will guide the yarn through the eye of the needle.
