Pako Needle Organizer Is A Clever Accessory

By Etta Bowen


Imagine how convenient it would be to have threads and needles waiting and ready when working on a complex cross stitch, needlepoint or embroidery project. Continually having to thread needles can be extremely frustrating, particularly when working on more complex projects. The Pako Needle Organizer is a clever accessory that keeps needles accessible and organized for much greater efficiency.

This accessory has a central control panel raised at an angle so as to be clearly visible. The needles are pushed into small, square, blue foam pads to keep them secure and safe. Fiber numbers and colors are easily tracked on this central panel.

Blank cards are usually included. Color codes are written on these for easy identification. These cards can be replaced with refill packs or they can simply be marked in pencil and erased or even photocopied. The blue sponge squares can also be purchased separately and replaced if necessary. Another useful accessory that needs to be purchased separately is a nylon storage bag. This is zipped open and closed and makes transportation easy for traveling.

Many projects require numerous color changes. Often a color is only required for a few stitches before another one is needed. This is when such an accessory is invaluable. Instead of trying to find out when the color needs to be used again in order to use up the thread, the needle can just be pushed into the appropriate foam square. This enables it to be easily found again when it is need. Any confusion and tangling up of different threads is also avoided in this manner.

Organizers can store up to 50 needles at the same time. Buying all these needles is a small price to pay in terms of time spent threading and re-threading. This is a must-have tool for projects with large quantities of threads and numerous color changes. The needles can be pre-threaded and stored so it is simply a matter of picking up the appropriate one and stitching. Many people use more than one organizer for a really complex project requiring more than 50 color changes.

These products are available from many online sources and both new and second-hand ones are available. When buying such products online it is important to understand the policies of the supplier with regard to guarantees, returns and refunds. Choosing a reputable supplier is essential and reading reviews written by other customers can be helpful.

These products are relatively inexpensive and any cost is far outweighed by the convenience offered. When buying from online sources, they can be found at many different prices and second-hand items are often found too. Discounts and special offers are often offered too.

These organizers can revolutionize the way a project is done and considerably reduce the time spent. Needles are no longer mislaid as they are safely pushed into their little square foam pads. Colors needed are easily found and threads do not become tangled. The convenience of threading needles with all the necessary colors before tackling a complex project cannot be underestimated.
