The Needle Puller

While looking for something else, I stumbled across this great tool on the New Needlepoint site.
http://www.newneedlepoint.com/needlepoint-miscellany/needle-or-thread-puller-tool

It's a needle puller, perfect for tugging a needle through a thick mass of threads.  I hadn't seen one before.  It's probably not a Must Have but it's a very nice little item to have around, just in case.

Do you have some interesting and useful tools in your stitching stash?  If so, Tell All in the comments below.  (Or if today's the day Blogger won't let you comment, just email me at chillyhollow at hot mail dot com.)
