# A broken needle that lost it’s point (or it’s hole) is [[Muktzeh Machmat Gufo]].<ref> Shulchan Aruch 308:11 </ref>
#A needle with its point or eye broke off is muktzeh machmat gufo.<ref> Gemara Shabbat 123a, Shulchan Aruch O.C. 308:11</ref> However, a needle that wasn’t completed and the eye wasn’t punctured isn’t muktzeh.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 308:11. Biur Halacha 308:11 s.v. vchadasha isn’t sure if an unfinished needle is muktzeh even though it isn’t usable for removing thorns because it can be made into something usable. Zeh Masati v. 1 123a cites Rabbenu Chananel 52b, 123a, and Ran 52b who are lenient.</ref>
