MCG Textiles Item 38590 Locker Hooking Tool

I bought this for making pot holders using the latch hook method. I’m new to “hooking” and so far it’s working well

I've used this locker hooking tool and wanted more to share with my friends. It's a fun hobby that uses scrap fabric and makes a useful finished project. This was more than I paid at the local craft store, but they no longer carry them. So this was easier to buy them on line than to chase all over looking for them.

I found some information on locker hooking on Pinterest and was immediately smitten. Off I went to my local craft store to find a hook. No such luck. Finally found someone who informed me that "locker hooking was popular about 7 years ago" and they didn't carry hooks any longer. Amazon saves the day - again! I find the hook to be just the right length and size to turn my strips and strings of fabric into something usable and - in my opinion - pretty. And, it is fun! My only worry is I have bent it a bit - trying to work through the edges where the canvas is doubled. I just learned to take it easy and have had less bending.

I haven’t used these yet. I am excited to try soon. They seem to be made of good quality metal.

It is hard to find this tool so i was excited to see it on amazon. It does the job but does start to bend if you are using it for long periods of time. I did get a very large kitchen rug done with it but might look for a different brand for the next one.

The hook was light weight and smooth. I was using this hook for locker hooking. I could use this size hook for both fabric strips and bulky yarn. A bit pricey but I couldn't find this product locally so ordering through Amazon, I ordered it on Sunday and recieved it on Monday!

I’m trying to use up my fabric scraps by doing locker rug hooking and this needle hook makes quick work of the process.

It is a nice locker hooking tool. It is smooth and brightly colored so it won't snag on the rug you are working on and it is easy to find if you drop it.
