Sue ordered a new aficot and shows it off on her website. Sounds like a disease, doesn't it? But it isn't--it's a special sort of laying tool.

If this intrigues you, follow the links to Mary Corbet's website for the history and use of aficots and then go to M&H Handcrafts to order your own.
I think the mesquite one is gorgeous! Oh, don't miss looking at the laying tools. I like the barley twist style, and the bone stiletto is just lovely....
Ten enabling points to Sue!
(By the way, Ridgewood has a silver mellore on sale at half price while we are looking at exotic tools that are used for laying threads. Mellores are for gold work, by the way.)
