    I know the answer but used Google Lens to find it… I don’t know if this is against the spirit of the place, as there’s no rules?

    It’s a pom pom maker

      You are (obviously!) correct. Thanks for spoilering your answer.

      That’s a great question. I didn’t realise Google Lens would be so helpful. I think for challenges I will add something to gently discourage its use for the moment as I clearly am unable to find any objects that are obscure enough to remain unsolved for more than a few minutes.

      I’m sure if people start submitting handmade items used by their grandmothers they might even beat Google Lens.

      I had the same struggle! Also didn’t see your comment weirdly until now.

      That is correct! And another embarrassingly fast solution. I might need to start dismantling random appliances to find some tougher challenges…

      I like your use of the spoiler tag, it avoids giving away the answer too quickly to people who clicked through to see the pictures.

          That’s how I got my hands on this – rootling through some of my partner’s bags looking for perplexing stuff.
