Threader

A 'threader' refers to a person or device that inserts a thread through a small opening, such as the eye of a needle, a bead, or a fabric. This action is often delicate and requires precision. Threaders are commonly used in sewing, beading, and other crafts where joining materials with a thread is necessary. The term can describe either the tool facilitating the threading or, in rare cases, a person expertly performing this task. The success of a threader, whether manual or mechanical, relies on the correct alignment and controlled passage of the thread.
