I have two of the tool you mean and no they have a metal tip or point with a
lever to grip the material to pull it through the hessian.
I'd wondered about a drop spindle but not being a spinner I have no idea how
these things work - again maybe not!!

Isn't it one of those tools that is used to make rugs etc., the thread
going
though the hole then the tool is pushed though the backing, which is
usually
sacking, and then withdrawn leaving a loop. Quite an ornate one if it is
that, what do you think ??
