[Nfb-krafters-korner] kneedle threader

[eileen scrivani]

They are also very good for threading seed beads onto yarn so you can then 
knit with beads too.

The one's I have purchased I think are called Gum - Ez or Gum-Ease and they 
are exactly that ... meant for people with braces or different dental 
devices.
