Abstract: A needle dispenser comprising a tubular body whose walls define a cavity therein for storage of needles, said body terminating in a first end which is sealed at its extremity and terminating at a second end in a substantially convex surface, said surface containing a substantially centrally located, substantially-circular aperture in communication with said cavity, said aperture having a diameter in excess of the maximum diameter of the greatest-diameter needles to be stored in said cavity. Preferably the cavity contains a plurality (e.g. 3-5) of B--B shot which prevents the needles from readily falling out of the aperture.

Abstract: A needlepoint and crewel-embroidery stitch remover having a handle secured to a member. The member terminates in a bifurcation with a long tine and a short tine with a cutting surface in the crotch between the tines.
