I don't believe these are John James needles, they are very fragile and break/bend easily

I really like John James needles. They are sturdy and are great for the beading that I do. This price is excellent and I appreciate the fast service.

This is a good brand. But the eye is smaller than that in my finer needles. I have to use a needle threader and it cannot pull normal NYMO d through the eye. My size 12 needles are fest to thread, but I ran out. I had to abandon these needles, wasted money for me.

I have used the John James brand of needles before and love them. What a relief to have several backup needles. I've had no problems with these needles breaking as they would when made in China for a brief period. I use the size 10s and occasionally the 12s which are a bit smaller than the 10s. I'm still using the first two needles I started with several days ago and based on past experience, will probably be able to use them until I finally lose them, so I expect this pack will last a very long time!I find these needles easy to thread, which is a HUGE plus. If you're using a round thread such as Fireline, you may have trouble threading your needle as the thread is round but the eye is not round but closer to a vertical line. Just flatten/mash the very end of the thread (I just use my chain nose pliers), then thread away. Another tip: Pinch the end of the thread between your thumb and index finger of your left hand so you can barely see it and squeeze it. With the needle in your right hand, bring the needle to the thread (that you're still squeezing), instead of the old way of the thread to the needle. My eyes are old but this method works great and I no longer need "extra stuff" just to thread a needle!NOTE: (If you're new to beading needles...) All beading needles will eventually bend some because of the small gauge wire required to go through small bead holes. They have to bend a lot before becoming unusable. When bead weaving, I actually prefer them after they get bend-y(?), as they're not as likely to slip through the next bead.

For those who like to bead, John James brand needles are great to use. I have tried different brands, and these by far are my favorite to use. I prefer to use a size 10 whenever possible because the eye is just much easier to thread. I only increase to a thinner gauge (11 or 12) if I absolutely have to. When I do, I only use this brand needles. The value is great. For those who are beginners, you may think that a pack of 25 needles seems like a lot, but you will soon find that beading needles get put through the ringer and easily bend and break. Typically, I can only use a needle for one or two projects before I need to discard. I certainly can try to re-straighten the needles somewhat, but nothing beats workign with a fresh new needle for a project- it really makes a significant difference.
