This consists of 1 metal awl, 2 pairs of small scissors, 5 sets of winders with weights still attached, 4 small metal sticks and 3 long metal sticks. The metal awl is a pointed tool, which might have been used to pierce through multiple layers of fabric. These winders would have functioned like a spool, keeping the thread neatly secure. They would also have been used to create tension in order to produce an even woven surface.The acquisition contains numerous examples of templates, patterns and tools embroiderers used in the making of beadwork pieces.
