As I do a lot of beading with size 15/0 I figured the smallest tulip beading needle would be the best. I bought two size 13's at 14.99 plush shipping and handling, making two needles nearly 20.00. I'm not even a 3rd of the way through a projects using 11/0's and 15/0's and I've broken one of the needles. The claim that they're resilient to bending and breaking seems to be false. I don't feel like I'm any harder on needles than the next beader out there, but these sure didn't last long. My two bits... don't wast your money. I could have bought 5 time's as many needles for that price.

This sounds wonderful! I want to try these out immediately! Carol Cypher is my favorite bead author, too!

Hi. I just wanted to say that I completely agree with this review for Tulip needles. I use a single needle for my different projects for about three weeks now, and it still works perfectly fine. Jennifer just forgot to mention that the needle's end is rounded, and for this reason it never splits the thread - to me it's a very important quality. I would strongly recommend to give these little treasures a try - you wouldn't want anything different after that, guaranteed!

BTW: i bought them at www.CarolCypher.com as JudyR mentioned in her comment, and Carol is really friendly

Happy and joyful creation to all,

Svetlana

I'm so glad to read about the "Tulip Needles". I used to bead on moose hides for mocassins. In those days I used the "rubber fingers" from the stationary department. I would rubber finger the thumb & next two fingers thus rarely having a need for pliers.

The needles sound great -- I'll have to try them. I would also love to get your pattern for the flower. Is it posted somewhere that I can download it?

I will have to try thses they sound like the will hold up and not bend like mine always do. I have a little helpful

hint. When my needle gets stuck in a tight spot, I use my round rubber jar opener. It works wonderful on

pulling the needle thru, just as easily as it opens a lid on a jar. I now keep it in with my beading supplies.

I just bought these at the Bead & Button show from Out on a Whim & they are wonderful. I took Carol Wilcox Well's 3 day Master class & used the size 11 bead. Through 3 grueling days it kept going & I didn't break it until I tried to squeeze it through a pathway that I should not have. They feel great in the hand and are easier to thread as the eye is gold. They are flexible enough for all those turns and twist that would totally destroy any other needle. I think I was the only one in my class that only had one failed needle. Everyone else broke at least 5-6.
