Punch Needle Rug Hooking Frame - Gripper Strip
Gripper Strip Frames
All frames are made by hand in West Wales from pine or ash. The EH4 (monks cloth and linen) gripper strips are purchased from Howard Brush in Maine, USA and then stapled onto the frames in Wales. These gripper strips also hold weavers cloth tight.
Gripper Strip Lap Frames are the best for punch needle rug hooking. Your backing needs to be tight as a drum which enables you to “punch” the needle through the backing. These frames enable you to stretch the fabric taut.
Current sizes I keep in stock:
18” x 18
14” x 14”
12” x 12”
10” x 10”
Please let me know if you need a custom size for your projects.
18” frames will be posted disassembled due to size and weight. The ends will be numbered, screws supplied so they can be reassembled easily.
Please note that the gripper strips on these frames can be very dangerous and you will either need to buy a cover or make your own cover from a piece of wool or flannel. If I do not have covers in stock, I am happy to send instructions for making the covers. Please see other listings for frame covers.
