I also have this issue and it not only discolors the thread but you use a lot more needles too. My solution has been to use a hoop, keep a supply of needles and wash my hands often. I also tried using the gold plated needles but these discolor as well so not worth the expense.

My ex husband had that problem. He started spraying the palms of his hand with either an anti perspirant or foot spray, the kind for sweaty feet and that helped a lot.
