Yes it is. I call it a weft basher. I bought it in Turkey. Was on a sailing holiday and moored up at a small island off the coast. Just a couple of rug making families were the inhabitants, but unfortunately I was not smitten with their rugs, rather touristy garish colours. I came across a pile of old tools and this was among them. My "duck fetish" at the time drew me to it, so bought it so I did not leave empty handed. I bought two of them, but nasty ex husband decided to add one to his stash, even though he scorned my purchases at the time! Oh well, that's a long story and I don't want to go there thank you very much!!! So congratulations to Sue and Christine........and to Rose for first mentioning a tool....hope you didn't mind me doing this, but felt a bit mischievous last night!! Emmi
