As core77 points out in their much more attractive article, the website needs a little work... but as an invention, I think this is just awesomely brilliant.
I've always struggled with threading needles - heck, who hasn't? - but it took an enthusiastic Mum whose eyesight was failing her to come up with this. It's still at the "garden shed" stage of production, but I can't help feeling it's only a matter of time before this goes global. I hope this woman gets herself some decent IP protection for when that happens.
Anyway, it's v impressive.

there are already easy thread needles available - I have one at home but this does look like a very nice design.

hah very hah! why have you been so absent on flickr and here too come to that?
I concur, similar designs exist. This does look like it might be easy to use though. I'd like one with a little rubber sleeve in the eye, to try to lock the thread in place and keep it from slipping back out.
still a good idea!
