A hand tool featuring a fine, flexible wire loop or a tiny hook attached to a flat handle. The wire is pushed through the needle's eye, the thread is passed through the wire loop, and the tool is pulled back out, bringing the thread with it. It is essential for threading very fine needles, working with frayed yarn, or assisting users with poor vision.
