I'd like to pick one of these up for some splicing work. I know that Joann's has them online, but would I be likely to find them in one of their b&m stores, and if so, what section of the store?
Thanks!

They should be in the "Notions" department at Joann's. Best of luck!!

I found mine at wal mart, sewing section
I sure am glad I read this post. I've been looking all over the place for one of those "thingies" for splicing, but had no idea what they were called. Headed over to Michaels to get a "Loop Turner" tonight. Thanks!
So many trees, so little time!

FWIW, the "loop turner thingie" is a bodkin. WalMart's version is bulkier than some I've seen.

Huh. I had always thought a bodkin was a type of fighting dagger (too many scifi novels). I'd always seen "loop turner thingies" called a "loop turner" on the packaging.
I guess you learn something new every day, and twice a day if you're here on HF!

Is that true? I have what I think is a bodkin, and it's a big sewing needle with a large eye, and not as pointy. I use it for running drawstring through channels.
This is the loop turner that I bought.
