Macassar Ebony Laying Tool

Laying tools are used in embroidery, cross-stitch or tapestry weaving to help lay down and place threads in a specific direction. Our laying tools are made of dense woods with a finely sanded finish to prevent snagging fine threads. The pointed tip is used to push the threads into place without damaging the fabric or the threads themselves. The use of a laying tool can help create smoother and more precise stitches.

This laying tool can also be used as an awl or stiletto for other needlework applications.
