Jenny Adin-Christie sells aficots handmade in Devon, England. These are used to smooth satin stitches, particularly in whitework.
Some are acrylic and some are wooden. Jenny points out that the acrylic ones can be washed to remove the oils from your hands, which is great if you are doing whitework or stitching with other very light colored threads. You can shop Jenny's website if you are interested.
Heck, even if you aren't interested you should look at her site. The embroidery is out of this world!
