Abstract
The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to a pre-threaded needle assembly that can be used in the hair weaving process. Particularly, the needle assembly comprises a base around which a portion of thread is wound. The base is operably connected to a needle that is used in the weaving process. The assembly therefore includes a base pre-wound with thread such that the assembly can be immediately used (as compared to prior art needles that must be hand wound before use). The disclosed assembly therefore is pre-wound to save time and effort. The needle can further be pre-attached to the base to save even more time.
