Although widely known as a Premier manufacturer of Gripper Strips for the Fiberarts community, Howard is pleased to offer this simple 12 x 12 Rug Hooking Frame made from clear pine and fixed to a veneer base. Perfect for beginners, or for instructors & teachers to offer to their students. Available in Kit form as shown, or completely assembled including our #3 Gripper Strips for Burlap and/or Primitive Linen. For those who prefer to use Monks' Cloth or Fine Linen, our Gripper Strips #4 and #5 respectively, can be provided in each kit or frame at a slight additional cost.

We manufacture rug hooking strips that are great for wall hangings and tapestries. These allow you to hang your fabric art with no lacing or tacking required so you won't damage it. These strips are also perfect for rug hooking frames which grip the rug backing allowing the pattern to be repositioned in seconds.

RH4CC - For tapestries, wall hangings and fabric art.	EH3CC - For use with Burlap.
EH4CC - For use with Monk's Cloth.	EH5CC - For use with Linen.

In addition to the rug hooking strips above, we also have wood channels which you can easily slide your rug hooking strips into, and also remove them from the channel just as easily. They are perfect for rug hooking frames or for mounting your rug hooking strips on walls for wall hangings and tapestries. They are for any project where you would need to change strips frequently, or need your strips secured properly. We can make these wood channels for any length, and to fit all our rug hooking strips.
