The narrower end is used as a stiletto to widen a hole in the ground fabric to plunge a heavy twisted cord or metal thread to the back.
The round end is used to nudge and push metal threads into position and is gentler on the metal threads than using tweezers as the mellor has been polished and has smooth rounded edges so less likely to damage the metal thread.

Acid Free Plastic Bags
I have a several sizes in acid free plastic bags in which you can store embroidery threads, fabrics or stitched pieces.
The opening of the bag has a zippered seal which you press to close. The 2 by 3 inch acid free bag is 2 mm thick, all other sizes of acid free bags are a sturdy 4 mm thick.
What is the effect of Acid: If threads are stored in a drawer, box or tissue paper that is not acid free, over the years the acid in these materials seep into the threads and gradually rot the fibres.

Fabric Eraser
The fabric eraser is useful for surface embroidery when you use a pencil to draw your design lines onto fabric.
If you by mistake draw the line in the incorrect position, use the fabric eraser to remove the pencil line.
The pencil line may not completely erase so still take care when drawing design lines on your fabric.
I find the eraser useful especially when drawing on the direction guide lines on my needle painting designs and sometimes draw the guide lines on at the wrong angle and need to remove them.

Transfer Pencil – Chalk
The blue chalk pencil is used to transfer a design from tracing paper to fabric.
Trace your design onto the velum tracing paper. Note that the design will be reversed when you iron the design onto the fabric.
Place the tracing paper with the design down against the cotton fabric and then iron evenly along the back of the tracing paper, applying firm pressure for about 6 to 8 pass-overs.
When you lift the tracing paper off the fabric you are left with a blue outline of your design. The transfer is permanent.
