"This is a needle holder, used for holding sewing needles. When you use it, loop your thumb and ring finger into the rings, place your index finger on the handle to control direction. Do not grip too tightly, as that will make your hand shake; nor too loosely, as that will cause the needle to turn."
Yang Ping explained as he demonstrated. His movements were not fast, but each action was clean and precise, without any unnecessary flourish, like a seasoned craftsman showcasing the basics. His fingers were long and stable, knuckles flexible, the needle holder in his hand seemed like a pen, astonishingly obedient.
Zhaxi followed suit, picking up the needle holder, trying to clamp a sewing needle, purposely letting the needle drop onto the tray, then picking it up again, clamping repeatedly each time from a different angle he desired.
