I learned to embroider when I was a kid, when everyone was really into cross stitch (remember the '80s?). Eventually, I migrated to surface embroidery, teaching myself with whatever I could get my hands on...read more

Round Hoops for Embroidery

$12.00

Image of Round Hoops for Embroidery

Solid beechwood embroidery hoops, with smooth finish and 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 multiple diameters, in three thicknesses:

Thin 5/16" (just over 1/4"): This is your typical, everyday hoop thickness. It is ideal for projects with lighter ground fabrics, such as light to medium weight linens, fine cotton lawn or batiste, and even flour sack towels. In ring sizes over 4", these can be held by most frame clamps and hoop stands.

Medium 5/8" (just over 1/2"): These slightly thicker hoops are very nice 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! These can be held by most frame clamps and hoop stands.

Thick 7/8" (just under 1" thick): these large hoops are excellent for large projects in medium and heavier weight fabrics, especially table linens, bed coverings, curtains, or clothing. They are excellent for larger crewel projects and can be used as well on cottons and more. They are thick, sturdy hoops, and they work well in frame clamps and hoop stands.

On Binding Embroidery Hoops

Binding the inside of the an embroidery hoop with cotton twill tape (or other material - like cotton bias tape) is beneficial for holding the fabric tension longer and for protecting the embroidery fabric. You can read about binding embroidery hoops here.

Due to rising costs and slow supply lines, we no longer package twill tape with our embroidery hoops. In the future, we will carry various widths of cotton twill tape, packaged separately.

Shipping

Presently, these hoops ship via Ground Advantage or Priority mail to US addresses only. Hoops will be packaged securely for shipping.

Any notable excess shipping expenses that occurs when we prepare your package for shipping will be refunded when your order ships. This includes orders that combine multiple products to save on shipping.
