You can try Griffin knotting cord in size 0 with the needle attached. I have some very small gemstone beads that it has fit. The end of the needle is a bit snug but if you work it gently, it will pull through. After that, regular dressmaker silk thread is probably about 28 gauge or use fine stitching thread. Make a needle with Henrietta's Gum Arabic or something along those lines.
