Anotations

Scope note:

Small, long needles, equipped with pincers at each end, used to produce nets, filet-lace, and similar mesh-like materials. Netting thread is wound lengthwise on the needle between the two pincers, which increase the user's control of the thread before it is wrapped around the net gauge, thus lessensing potential tangling or knots.
