Noob question: is the needle supposed to turn black like this? (lemmy.world)

I've been using the same one for a few weeks now and just noticed it was turning black. I tried to clean it but that did nothing. Is this something that happens with cheap needles? Is there a particular brand I should get?

I have a pin cushion but no strawberry lol

That's what I get for buying the cheapo sewing kit

Oh, that sucks. I always desire the cheap kits that come in little cases, because they look so cute… until I actually open them, lol. There’s always something wrong with them.
