Why It Is Special
The striped design makes this hook stand out from standard embroidery tools. While it offers the same reliable performance as the Classic Ash version, the striped handle adds a layer of character to your kit. It combines the sturdiness of ash wood with a more decorative finish, appealing to embroiderers who enjoy tools that are both functional and visually striking.

Who It Is For

Care Instructions
- Use with clean, dry hands to avoid oils transferring into the wood.
- Place the hook on a stable, non-slip surface when not in use.
- Cover the needle with a protective cap (a cork or soft earplug works well).
- Keep away from children, as the needle is sharp.
