I have a little tool on a wooden handle which lifts my pins out of the
pillows and pattern which I bought from someone giving up lacework, but I
have just seen what is probably similar listed in a UK price list Tim Parker
also expect SMP Lace to supply similar for 2.25 pounds GB. I would hate to
be without mine. Also have a similar thing for pushing pins in, although I
have seen some which do both. Not very expensive in the scheme of things.

I think this is what you're looking for. I found one in my local
needlework shop. This is from Nordic Needle, and I'm sure they mail their
products all over the world.

Hello Jenny
Just where did you find that gadget?
I have similar fingernails.

Just discovered a new lace tool today. I bought a needle tugger meant for
pulling needles through thick fabric and spotted the potential for
pulling pins out of the pillow - I'd use tweezers but it puts my teeth on
edge - it's basically a thin plastic tube you put over the pin and pinch
and then pull out. I suffer from nails that peel and shred when I pull
out any quantity of pins so I think this is going to save my nails
