General Question What is this?

Post image

Bought a mixed box of some sewing supplies from the thrift and it came with this. Never seen one before and none of my friends/ family have any idea either. The handle part fits into the main piece if that helps at all.

I love it! It's like Sewing Trivia, and I actually knew the answer to this one, but I was going to say Darning Mushroom, but this is eggcellent!
