White Balloon:Yes a balloon. Even a small one will be big enough to grip your needle. To use, place the needle between the sides of the balloon’s body. Grasp firmly and pull. Pros: Cheap and really easy to find in bulk. Easy to replace Cons: Balloon must be white or dye may transfer onto threads. Long skinny balloons are harder to use (too thin); use round balloons.
