Traditional sewing equipment consisted of an ulu, needle and awl, thimble and thimble-guard, and a needlecase. |
Converting the tool back-and-forth from an ulu to a hatchet is merely a matter of spreading the locking Zytel handles and reversing them. |
This ulu is representative of one of the styles developed by the beginning of the 20th century. |
The ulu was made by the Inuvialuit, the Inuit living in the western Canadian Arctic. |
A small brass pendant shaped like an ulu hung below her chest as she sat in the witness chair, wearing a black and brown sweater and black jeans. |
If an awl was not available, a pointed tool, a splinter of bone or the corner of an ulu served to make the needle-hole. |
