Plastic Punch Needle and Embroidery Hoops
A plastic hoop is a light, low-cost hoop where the inner ring is clamped into the outer ring with a screw; it holds fabric tighter than wood, is washable and does not break. This page gathers all the plastic hoops at Hobianna: Hello plastic punch and embroidery hoops in 10, 13, 15, 18, 20, 23, 26 and 30 cm round and oval sizes, Calin clip plastic hoops and spare clips. Because the fabric must not slacken in punch needle, a plastic hoop is the first choice. Other types are Wooden Hoop, Snap Frame, Panel Hoop; all hoops in Hoops.
Which Hoop Size?
15–18 cm for cross stitch and small embroidery, 20–26 cm for a punch needle panel, 30 cm or oval for large punch pieces and cushions. Cut the fabric to overhang the hoop by 5–8 cm on every side; wrapping the inner ring with cotton tape stops slipping. Hoop covers and spare clips are in Hoop and Stand Accessories.
