It is for catching the dropped knit stitches. I use my great grandmothers when I knit on the machine.
|
latch hook for rugs ?
|
I have a thingy for pulling elastic thru casing that looks a lot like that, only it is a good deal longer (about 12")
|
I'm going with the snag puller ...its a nifty looking little gizmo though isn't it?
|
Thread Catcher???

I think it may have been used as a bodkin too.

back in the day people need something to pull elastic through small areas and I believe that is what it was used for? Hope it helps

I agree w/ Sandpat. I think it is to pull loose threads/snags back into sweaters, needlepoint items, etc. Does this make sense?
