Dear spiders,
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?

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.

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
I have just super-enlarged it in Photoshop and it looks as though there is a
knob of something about 50mm down (2 inches sorry) As I strain my eyes and
sharpen the picture, it could be a winding of a dark thread?
As I came into this late am I talking about the right implement?
Oh dear, I am a
Before I enlarged the picture I guessed a lifter or a roller for needle lace.

I think there is a knob at the other end, too, - deep in the shadow of the
basket.
I first thought it was for winding up your yardage lace, but the knobby bit
in the centre would make this difficult. Then I decided it might be where
you can wind on threads - like some of the DMC thread that comes
Hi, 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. It would also be a very cool needle
case.
