Need the Right Tool for Practice?

To get started with this technique, you’ll need a proper Luneville hook — also known as a tambour hook

Many mass-produced versions don’t hold the needle securely, which is why I now stock a small range of EU-made tambour hooks with ash wood handles and brass fittings — the same ones I use in my studio.
