These do not. Each eye has a fine slit along one side: hold the thread taut, press it against the slit, and it drops into the eye. If your eyes or your hands have turned threading into the slowest part of a repair, this is the whole point of the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA set is twelve steel needles in three lengths, four of each, on a black felt card. Choose gold-eye or plain silver, and add the small wooden case if you want somewhere to keep them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"band t\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"in\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"eyebrow\"\u003eHow it threads\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThree moves, no aiming\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"steps\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"step\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHold the thread taut\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA short length between finger and thumb.

It is what makes threading easy, and it is also a gap in the eye: a very fine or very slippery thread can work back out under a hard sideways pull, and a thick cord may not fit through it.
