I remember when a bag of Poly Fil would have a free wood turner in the bag. It was 12" long and had a rounded and flat pointed end. I haven't found any other like it. It's the one I reach for all the time.

Its a bamboo point turner , I got mine at Joann's in the quilting section, bit Ihave seen them in the notions isle since many use them for turning collars and cuffs.

You might also look under "Bone turner" as some of the early ones were made of bone.

I use the Purple Thang, it's good for more than one use, but you could also look for bone folders in the scrapbook/card making section. Most are made of bone, but there are ones that are wood/bamboo, too.

Elenore Burns has those on her site I am pretty sure. I watched her use one. It is called a point turner here is the link.

you want the Purple Thang.

The closest tool of that description could be a "bone folder" used in paper folding projects..I have a "plastic" type one that I use only I used a Dremel tool to cut an "eye" in the wide end and use it to pull elastic thru casings in slacks etc. This way I can use it several ways in different projects.
