Tn the days of thatched roofs, the thatichers used large wooden needles to 'sew' sections of thatch together.
Because the haystack was normally nearby, it was often the case that a thatcher dropping his thatching needle would find it landing in the haystack, and having to be searched for.
Even though the needles are more than a foot long, they are wood, and therefore a similar colour to the hay, and you would have to search for a needle in a haystack.
