A paracord needle, also known as a fid, is a blunt-tipped metal tool with an internal screw thread on one end used to weave and stitch paracord through tight knots and loops
How It Works
- One end is blunt or slightly pointed to guide the cord without piercing it, while the other end is hollow with reverse internal threads.
- You cut the paracord end at an angle, melt it lightly with a lighter, and twist it into a sharp point with your fingers.
- While warm, you twist or screw the hardened cord tip into the threaded end of the needle so it grips securely.
- After finishing your weave, you unscrew the cord in the opposite direction to release it.
Common Uses
- Weaving complex survival bracelets, lanyards, monkey fists, and knife wraps.
- Tucking loose or final strands back through tight core weaves where fingers or pliers cannot fit.
- Adding multiple or contrasting thin strands and micro-cords into a project
