Oval wooden embroidery hoop for stabilizing fabric during hand embroidery and cross-stitch. The elongated shape offers extra working area for names and bordered motifs. A brass hand screw helps keep tension and resists discoloration when tightened. Smooth wood edges are gentle on threads. Size: 12.7 × 22.7 cm (5 × 9 in). Loosen between sessions to minimize hoop marks.
