Two weaver's reed hooks, one for fine and one for coarse goods
The reed hook is used by the "drawer in" when preparing the warp threads for the weaver, i.e. when drawing it in through the healds reed; it is also used by the weaver when the warp thread breaks. The "drawing in" hook has a handle in which are fixed two wires, each flattened at the end and an inclined slot in which the thread is held. It is used with the thread upwards. These objects are weavers hooks and only have one wire, and its end is bent at a slight angle and used with the slot downwards. The long one is for fine threads (warps) and the short one for coarse or canvas weaving.
