| Snag Nab-Its |
Back before Thanksgiving I mentioned the Snag Nab-It which is used to pull stray thread tails back to the rear of a canvas. This is essentially a long needle with a pointed end and a roughed up end that is supposed to pull a stray thread to the back side of your canvas. You insert the pointed needle in the hole that has a thread tail sticking out, then gently pull the Snag Nab-It through. The rough end catches the thread and pulls it to the back side along with the needle.

When I wrote that post I heard from Jane B. that her local JoAnn's Fabrics carries them in three separate sizes. I had no idea that they varied in diameter, but this is important since the Fiber Talk podcast just mentioned that a Snag Nab-it can tear your ground fabric if you are not careful. This is less likely to be a problem with needlepoint canvas than linen but you still want to be careful. I managed to find two different lengths of the Snag Nab-It pictured online here.

Jane sent me an assortment of Snag Nab-Its in three diameters. They are all about the same length but you can easily see that some of the needles are thicker than others. With her help and encouragement I am offering one of the Snag Nab-Its as a giveaway. Post a comment here (or email me at chilly hollow at hot mail dot com if Google won't let you use Comments) and I will do a random drawing in a week's time, on February 28. The winner will need to mail me a stamped, self-addressed envelope and will receive the single Snag Nab-It in the package in the photo above as a present from Jane.
Thanks for all your help, Jane!
UPDATE: The contest is over and Jane's about to draw the winner, to be announced on March 1st.
