Background
A sewing needle has an "eye" (hole) at the non-pointed end to carry thread or yarn through fabric after the pointed end has pierced it. There over a dozen "types" of hand sewing needle and they are named depending on what they are used for.Sewing needles appear to have been in use for over 25,000 years and are primarily employed for pulling thread through material to join two pieces of fabric together, creating decoration on fabrics or pulling thread through beads or other ornamental items, with the object of stringing them together.
