Cathy;
Did you see my e-mail about using the size 16 or above or the plastic needle from the KK loom, all you need to do is to flatten the yarn or squeze it and it will go in to the eye of the needle. I have done it many, many a time!
It works with the thick and quick.

I use a 1 inch square of heavy paper, like the paper your yarn label is made of, and fold it over the end of the bulky yarn and poke it through the eye of the needle. You can search for yarn needles and see if any have descriptions that include eye size, but this works pretty well.

Hi All,
I am looking for a place online to purchase a needle with an eye large enough to use with super bulky yarn. I want an exact make and name so that I am certain to get the right sized needle and eye.
Any suggestions? I lost the wonderful needle my friend gave me and am struggling because the needles that come with the KK looms have eyes not quite large enough.
Thanks, Cathy
