Classic Sajou wooden embroidery hoops, with a brass screw for tightening and decorated with a small blue Sajou ribbon.
To use the hoop, simply pull the embroidery fabric tightly over the smallest circle, place the larger circle
over the top and tighten the screw. The embroidery fabric must be larger than the hoop.
If your fabric is fragile, roll a piece of ribbon or bias over the smallest circle to prevent marking.
This size of the smallest hoop fits perfectly into the Sajou work boxes that I have, perfect for keeping your embroidery project tidy whilst stitching on the go.
Some of you will already be collectors of Sajou and be more than aware of this extraordinary French brand. Sajou produce haberdashery items made in France to the highest standards (in some cases even produced on the original old machinery). Perfect for gifts and collectors, and for those of you unable to resist a quality that is seldom found in today's mass produced haberdashery products.
Sajou was created in 1828 by Jaques- Simon Sajou, selling haberdashery for embroidery, tapestry, lace, crochet and weaving. His pattern albums are sought after to this day by collectors worldwide. In 2005 the Sajou brand was purchased and revived by avid collector; Frederique Crestin- Billet. Many of the old designs have been faithfully reproduced and there are some new designs that have been added in the Sajou style.
