What do you call the wooden egg you slide into the sock so your stitches don't go through?? Could it be simply "stoppningsägg?" Tack på förhand!

Explanation:
I vanliga fall brukar vi ju ha svampformade föremål som sedan kallas "stoppsvampar". Om nu det som du har är i äggform, så borde det väl vara stoppägg.
