Thanks for all the interesting suggestions! I wrote to Elena, the
woman who sells this book, and she said she would ask the publisher.
It seems like a long shot but maybe someone will know what this thing
is.

Do you think you could use the wooden tool to measure wraps of the threads in
the narrower area? Not sure how that would work with it being grooved, but
that is what I thought at first glance.
No, the big knobs on the ends would get in the way. All I use is a piece of
paper with two
So am I the only person that would use a ruler LOL

I also measure my threads with a ruler but I can understand Brenda's
reasoning with the procedure she uses...
And rulers have the little marks a bit embedded thereby controlling the flow
of the threads a bit so many Brenda's plan is better.

To me, the grooves on the shaft seem to be spiral threads. Then the ring would
have complementary threads inside and can be moved up and down like a screw on
a bolt. Haven't figured out why, or what the object is, but nobody's suggested
the screw/bolt idea yet.

Los Angeles,
That's not a good enough image. I'd like to see the rest of the stick. If it's
tapered toward the end I'd guess it's a nostepinne. That's a Scandinavian tool
for winding yarn balls.

Interesting suggestion but it's not a nostepinne. I use nostepinnes
frequently and they have to be smooth or you'd never get the yarn off!
It looks like both ends are carved. I can't see whether the lower end
has a knob, like the upper end, but it's definitely not tapered.

Maybe it's for rolling your lace as it comes off the far side of your
pillow? It would need to be pinned at the ends, to keep it from
unrolling, and I think I can see a hole in the upper face of the knob
at the near end ...
But the basket has crochet-type threads, and packets of sewing
needles;
Ah, I should have mentioned that Puncetto is a needle lace, not a
bobbin lace, and worked without a pillow.

Avital,
My guess would be that it's some kind of needle case which unscrews.

I know you people love a good puzzle! This question came up on another
list. It's about the wooden stick in the basket on the cover of a
Puncetto book. Does anyone know what it's called or how it works?
Could it be a needle case? The knobs at each end might open/unscrew for
access. Looks to be about the right length for a compartment at each end.
this is totally a guess :)

Is it perhaps a holder to roll your length of lace onto. I see it has a
little raised bit in the middle, but that wouldn't affect rolling the lace
onto it.

I vote for a wood needle case. I have one that is far less fancy but is
similar.

I thought it was one of those tapered sticks that you wind
rings on in needle lace until I fired up Virtual Magnifying
Glass and saw that the end in shadow matches the one we can
see.
Like the others, I
