ABSTRACT:
The invention is a tool for use in grasping yarn during the making of needlepoint with a mesh having openings through which yarn is stitched including a handle having first and second ends located on a longitudinal axis; a member extending from the first end of the handle along the longitudinal axis; and a yarn grasping head joined to an end of the member at a position remote from the first end of the handle, the yarn grasping head having first and second bifurcations extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis, the bifurcations respectively having first and second ends and being joined together at one end to form a vertex for grasping yarn in the vertex, the bifurcations being spaced apart from each other by a substantially constant distance along the longitudinal axis except in proximity to the vertex to form an opening through which yarn can pass for grasping within the vertex, each bifurcation being deflectable to permit deflection toward the other bifurcation when engaging an opening in the mesh to tighten the grasp of yarn disposed between the bifurcations and to spring back to their spaced apart position when not engaging an opening in the mesh, the first and second ends of the bifurcations which define the opening having a taper extending from an outside surface of the bifurcation to the opening to provide a pointed end so that engagement of the tapered end with an opening in the mesh causes the bifurcations to more tightly engage yarn disposed therebetween.
