I just learned from Quail Run that Beadsmith is selling beading needles with colored eyes so you always know which size you are grabbing. They are not on the shop website yet but a pack of six in assorted sizes is in stock.

Here is a video that shows them off.

It appears that the six pack of assorted needles has two each of size 10, 11 and 12 beading needles and there is a color code on the front of the package. You can also buy packs of six needles in all one size if you prefer a size 10, for example. I'm not sure Quail Run stocks those, however.

If you like using varying sizes of beading needles and love knowing exactly which size you've picked up, this might be the product for you.
