TAMBOUR HOOKS & NEEDLES

The tambour hook is the most common tool used in tambour beading & embroidery, often referred to the Luneville technique. It’s a wooden handle that houses a small hook similar to a crochet hook. Needles usually have a long shank with a thread on the end as they are often used as machine embroidery needles. The variety of needle sizes used is determined by the thickness of the thread or fabric. See tips & advice for further advice.
