No but thanks...it was more along the line of a darning needle but flat and wider....thanks again
HM? What would that tool be used for ??
 
It looks as if people like to make their own out of toothbrushes

google Rag rug needle pics and you will see ones that folks have cut the brush end off of a cheap toothbrush... the kind with a hole in the end for hanging..... cut the cut off end to a point and sand smooth and you have a nice large needle for rug making

they have hooks you can buy but my grandmother took a old toothbrush and carved a hook in the end and made the rag rug with that. looked like a big crochet hook.
 
A Rug Hook,

It is like a large crochet hook, usually with a wooden handle, and they have a closure over the open edge of the hook, so that it closes holding the fabric or wool in place.

I have one here but no picture sorry, I will try to find one.

They are good tools.
