Pony 6.50 mm metal ply splitting needle for ply-split braiding with plied cords.
The Pony ply splitting needle is a specialist metal tool designed for working with high-twist plied cords — whether bought ready-made or constructed from crochet cotton, cotton floss, silk, rayon, or similar materials. At 6.50 mm in diameter, it allows you to separate the plies of one cord and draw a second cord cleanly through the opening, creating the interlocked structure that defines ply-split braiding and related techniques.
The blunt, sturdy metal construction makes it easy to part the plies without snagging or breaking individual strands, giving you precise control as you work.
