| Finella Laying Tools |
When I saw Pamela Harding post this on Facebook, I asked her if I could repost her message and photos here. Pamela said yes! Thanks, Pam!
Pamela says: Who doesn't need a new laying tool? I now have a new one for you to try called a Finella. They were featured in the What's New column of the last issue of Needlepoint Now and a few people have asked me about them.
They are hand-made by a welder friend of mine here in Washington state to my exact specifications - who better than a needlepointer to design a laying tool? There are two types of tools - a regular laying tool with a sharp end and a tool with a rounded end which is great for working with silk ribbon, flair, or any other thread that can get caught on a point. They come in 3", 4", and 5" lengths. Made of steel they have a slight more heft than a BLT or Teko Bari. They have square ends to keep from rolling and will stick to a magnet. They have been "blued" so that your skin oils won't discolor the metal.

Retail price is $25 for the 4" and $30 for the 3" and 5" (because they are handmade, these different sizes are harder to work with).
You can contact me directly at needlearts@comcast.net, 206-406-5642, if you would like to purchase them or get more information.
