Similane 12 Pieces 6 Inch Embroidery Hoops Bamboo Circle Cross Stitch Hoop Ring for Embroidery and Cross Stitch Decoration

For the record, this is the product I ordered and received: Similane 12 Pieces 6 Inch Embroidery Hoops Bamboo CircleI ordered these to use as frames for hanging my finished embroidery pieces. I just wanted an inexpensive frame that still looked nice enough to hang. These fit that bill. The hoops look nice, are plenty sturdy, and the ones I got did not have the blue film over the screw.As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure these would make decent embroidery hoops!! I won't use them for that as I have hoops that I use for the actual embroidery, but I will probably throw at least one in my embroidery "go bag" just in case I have to grab it and go!! (I try to keep a piece of simple embroidery in a bag with inexpensive notions so that if I have to go make an emergency trip anywhere I can grab that bag, have something to do with my hands while waiting out whatever emergency, but also not lose too much sleep if the bag gets lost, destroyed, or just left behind! I also try to keep a few extra inexpensive supplies in the bag in case I meet up with someone who wasn't thinking ahead and needs something to work with I can supply them!!)Anyway, I thought these were an excellent value and a really decent product for the money!

these hoops are the best ones on the market. smoother, thicker... i've been used them for couple years. wish there's a listing of 12 pieces 8 inch available!!!

These are great 6in hoops! I’ve been using them to work on a sweatshirt, sweatpants, and on cross stitching fabric. Haven’t had any trouble with them or any breaking. They are sturdy and relatively easy to use, however the screw is small and metal which might be difficult for some people to use or could hurt your fingers.

I was expecting a higher quality wood. The wood is a little splintery. Other than the splintering (which is very minimal) the rest of the hoop is great! I am going to embroider some patterns with these for Christmas gifts this year and I think they are going to turn out great! So despite the little bit of splintering I think they are a great buy!

Quality bamboo hoops. I order a total of 36 hoops and they are all perfectly round. I can use every single one of them. I really like that the metal doesn't have the blue film you have to peel off. I sell cross stitch kits so it was really important that I find quality hoops at a great price. These are awesome!!!

I bought a few at Walmart first and had a hard time picking through them to find ones that weren't misshapen. These all seem to be round and in good shape. And fortunately no protective blue plastic on the metal that some other reviewers had complained about. I'm happy with my purchase. I would buy them again.

I agonized over purchasing wooden hoops which I use to as a frame for my embroidered gifts. Reviews are difficult to navigate, because they seem to show up for more than one "brand" or option. To be clear, I ordered Similane 6" hoops. First, they arrived in one day. Second, each and every one was perfectly shaped and no splinters. Third, there was no "blue" thing that everyone seemed to be talking about. In short, I am very pleased with these hoops to display my handcrafts for sale. I am sure I will be reordering these soon.

So cute and well made perfect for easy chain stitch embroidery doodles. Makes everything look super classy when you put it in the hoop like a picture frame! Definitely love these

ordered the 6inch, got 4inch... one had some rust look on it, and all had this blue plastic on them, very annoying to get off.. not even sure if i would order again, i was very excited about getting them in bulk, as it is very difficult to get them in bulk, thought if they looked worth the price i was going to order again, but getting the wrong size has made me really annoyed.
