This 'Needle Beetle' threader has a couple of interesting components. The actual business part of the threader is a traditional thin wire but as wire threaders go? This one sports some serious improvements!
For starters the wire is retractable so less likely to get damaged. When the little button on the back of the ladybird is depressed and shoved upward, the wire emerges and low and behold a tiny LED light also turns on, making the task of viewing needle eyes and threads much easier.

There is also a handy thread cutter built in. For needles whose eyes are too small for my hummer threader, (See previous blog) this is a great option. If I had to choose a 'wire' based threader, this is my favourite version so far.
