It's hard to tell because the picture is a little dark, but I'm sure it's a punch needle, probably for rugs (smaller versions are made for Russian punch embroidery).
Avital Original Message: ----------------- From: Jean Nathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyone got any idea what this is and how it's used? The seller doesn't know, but says he/she's been told it's a "lace making needle", and the instructions are in Greek. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2359740333&category=193 19 or search for item number 2359740333 Jean in Poole -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
