Weaver's Hook

Both men and women worked as weavers. Using hooks, such as these, weavers drew the warp thread through the harness of the loom in preparation for weaving. Such hooks also helped retrieve threads broken on the loom, so the weaver could mend them. 

Weavers usually made their own hooks. They often modified found objects which made each hook unique and allowed them to express their creativity.
