Round Hoops for Embroidery

$10.00

Image of Round Hoops for Embroidery

Solid beechwood embroidery hoops, sanded smooth and finished, with sturdy brass hardware.

Don't confuse these hoops with the cheaper bamboo hoops sold in craft stores! These high quality hoops will last a life time if used and cared for correctly.

The hoops are presently available in thin (5/16") rings and thick (5/8") rings.

Thin hoops are available in 3", 4", 5”, and 6” sizes. Thin hoops are ideal for projects with lighter ground fabrics, such as light to medium weight linens, fine cotton lawn or batiste, and even flour sack towels.

Thick hoops are available in 7.5" size. Thick hoops are ideal for medium to heavy-weight fabrics, such as twill used in crewel work, or medium weight cottons and denims. They are also great for flour sack towels!

Cotton Twill Tape Included!

Included with each hoop is a length of cotton twill tape for binding the inside ring of the embroidery hoop, which helps protect your ground fabric and helps provide consistent, excellent tension. You can learn how to bind the inner ring of an embroidery hoop in this tutorial.

The thin hoops use 1/4" cotton twill, while the thick hoops use 1/2" cotton twill.

Shipping

Presently, these hoops ship via First Class or Priority mail to US addresses only, depending on the size of the hoop.

Any notable excess shipping expenses that occur when ordering multiple items will be refunded when your order ships.
