Abstract:
A bead threading tool ( ) formed by a folded wire having a distal end ( ) formed by twisting the folded end of the wire, an intermediate section ( ) formed by the spaced apart folded over halves of the folded wire and a proximal end ( ) formed by the tips of the folded wire fixably held by a holder ( ) for holding the tool during use. During the crocheting or knitting process the tool ( ) is used to add beads ( ) to an article by placing the beads ( ) onto the tool ( ) by inserting the distal end ( ) through the bead hole ( ), inserting a pull-up loop ( ) of the working thread ( ) between wires of the intermediate section ( ), pulling the loop ( ) toward the distal end ( ) until it is hooked in the distal end, moving the beads ( ) toward the distal end onto the loop ( ), then removing the loop ( ) from the tool by moving the loop from the distal end ( ) into the intermediate section ( ) and completing the stitch to secure the bead ( ) to a desired location of the article.
