I cannot read the manufacturer's name on it, I'm sorry. Unfortunately the black marks have started to wear off. I'm sure you'll be able to find one at your local office supplies place.

I have downloaded all the pdfs from TuttoRicamo before it went offline and was reborn... as an online store. They have great linens by the way as well as machine-knotted net for filet lace.<br />I just wanted to answer your question about the little awl. I have seen a similar one for sale either at the above website or at Canetta.it. Canetta is another good website for italian needlwork supplies. I buy some linens from them too. But then again I live in France so the shipping cost is not such a problem.<br />I love Punto Antico and many other Italian needleworks. Will visit again. Lovely blog you have here!

I think that because it has burrs along the shaft it is good for this use outlined in my post. I have tried doing this with a good quality awl and with a large needle and the fabric threads just fall back into place.<br /><br />Which site with the tutorials are you meaning?Jeanine in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846336931938366326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930752093519960948.post-91112607430424250232010-10-11T13:36:02.959-07:002010-10-11T13:36:02.959-07:00I discovered your blog while looking for a couple ...I discovered your blog while looking for a couple of instructions for some drawn thread work. I usually do Japanese embroidery, but white work is a nice break and it's washable! <br />I'm going to have to see about one of those needles. I have a source for the awl. Tanja Berlin at berlinembroidery.com sells one very similar. Thanks, AnneG in NC<br />PS when will the site with the tutorials be back up?Anneghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12858120820470784593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930752093519960948.post-40129817290896152612010-08-09T09:48:13.606-07:002010-08-09T09:48:13.606-07:00and of course thank you, Jeanine :)and of course thank you, Jeanine :)merihttp://avomeri.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930752093519960948.post-68309713613985937462010-08-09T09:46:47.937-07:002010-08-09T09:46:47.937-07:00I didn't know about that ball-point needle as ...I didn't know about that ball-point needle as well and I can imagine how useful it can be!
