Mellor
A mellor also known as a mellore or melor is a perfectly manufactured tool for metal thread embroidery.
The mellor is made out a soft smooth metal that is not abrasive.
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.
Size:Â 2 7/8 inches (7 1/2 cm) long by 1/2 inch (1 1/4 cm) wide

Needle Threaders
Wire needle threaders are for all sizes of needles but are most useful for fine needles as it enables you to thread the really small eyed needles easier.
The metal wire loop of the needle threader is threaded into the eye of the needle (much easier than threading in a strand of thread), the thread is then threaded into the wire loop of the threader and then the wire loop and embroidery thread are pulled back through the eye of the needle, the thread is now threaded into the needle.

Needles – Curved
Curved needles are great for awkward stitch angles, where a straight needle just won’t do. I carry curved beading needles for fine fabrics and beading. Curved quilting needles for sewing together heavier fabrics and is great for ending threads at the back of the work such as in goldwork and curved tapestry needles for sewing together counted fabrics and also for ending threads at the back of the work.
