Shirin Kasnak Looms (Turkey)


Weaving is one of the oldest crafts. It originated during the period of primitive communal society and represents the fabrics from which people sewed clothing. Eventually, the need arose to insulate their homes. During this period, carpets emerged. They were made using the oldest weaving technique - carpet weaving, and adorned with simple geometric patterns. Over time, more complex carpets began to be produced - for example, pile carpets with floral patterns. By the 18th century, carpet weaving had already gained significant popularity in Ukraine.
With the help of looms from the Turkish manufacturer Şirin Kasnak, you will be able to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of creating carpets as a manifestation of Ukrainian folk traditional creativity, one of the oldest and most widespread crafts.

What are embroidery hoops used for?

Embroidery hoops are used to create strong and even fabric tension, which prevents the fabric from deforming or puckering during work. Proper tension helps stitches lie more evenly, reduces hand fatigue, and ensures that the finished embroidery does not require additional straightening.

Which embroidery hoop brands are featured in the category?

The catalog features embroidery hoops and frames from Nurge, Sirin Kasnak, Calin, and Hello.

Which shape of embroidery hoops is best for stitching?

The choice of shape depends on your personal preferences and the design itself: classic round and oval hoops are ideal for most embroidery projects, while square and rectangular Calin frames are better suited for large-scale designs to help prevent creases in the fabric.
