The article presents a technological analysis of a group of tools for weaving from iron marlinspikes from the medieval materials of the Permian pre-Urals. Iron marlinspikes appeared in this territory in the 12th-13th centuries. In the course of the study, the author analyzed the appearance of the products, and also used rare metallographic analysis information. As a result of the study, the authors were able to reconstruct the approximate process of making marlinspike from iron. The blank was bent in half, creating a loop, the working end was forged, the loop was straightened and fl attened, and the item was shaped. Marlinspikes were probably forged from iron or raw steel, since the high strength of these tools was not required for their intended purpose. The production of such iron marlinspikes did not require special skills or efforts on the part of the blacksmith.
