I used to be a millwright and worked with wire rope a bit. This seems a little delicate for that. I think just a big needle for when you need one.

This is a chef's trussing needle for sewing rolled-up pieces of meat, etc. prior to baking or grilling.
thanks guys for comments, father in law was a butcher, maybe his.
