Abstract
A holder for sewing needles with thread is provided which includes a reel having an end plate and a winding member for winding the thread. The holder further includes a retaining member, such as a pin cushion, for positioning each needle relative to the end plate. The holder also has a base for supporting the reel for rotational movement. The base is formed with an upright wall enclosing but spaced from the winding member to provide a clearance between the upright wall and the winding member. The upright wall is formed with a slit through which the thread of the needle is brought into the above-mentioned clearance while the reel is rotated.
