The Magic of Needles

Thanks to Susan, I have a short video about how needles are made for you this morning.

Not all needles are made this way.  Japanese Embroidery needles were hand made.

Sadly, the gentleman who made JE needles, famous for their round eyes, has died and his craft has died with him.  His needles live on, however, at least for now.
