Similane 5 Pieces Embroidery Hoops Bamboo Circle Cross Stitch Hoop Ring 5 inch to 10 inch for Embroidery and Cross Stitch

This is a great set of bamboo embroidery hoops. They are smooth and hold the fabric tight. I have only one problem. I would like to have more than one of the smallest size hoop, but there's no way to buy an extra one or two. When working on more than one project at a time, or if I want to give a nice hoop to a friend who's beginning to embroider, I don't want to have to buy another set. Also, one thing to get used to is tightening the hoop. This style of hoop requires you to use both hands holding the screw mechanism. If you don't hold the nut at the left side of the screw, twisting on the right side doesn't make the hoop get tighter. This is a minor thing, just something to get used to. The result is a wonderfully tight hoop on which to embroider.

Now I've only recently started with embroidery, so I wanted to make sure I got multiple sizes without spending too much and I was pleasantly surprised and the quality of what I received . Hoops of that quality at my local craft stores would cost at least $3-6 each for those different sizes but I bought this set for barely $10. Great bargain for anyone whether experienced or beginner like me.

I think these are great for starting out. However, I did find that they are a bit flimsy and don't hold their shape well without fabric. Overall pretty good, do invest in something higher end in the future.

Purchased for an art project and the price was right so I didn’t mind having the extra sizes. I purchased a second set to have two of the same size for my project.

These are great quality, sanded smooth with a rounded edge. Love them!
