Kind of a dumb question, but is it some kind of punch embroidery hook? The hook end is very small and very fine and very flat...
Found this while I was decluttering my sewing stash-I have no idea where I got it from.
What do you think it's for?
Lovely wooden handle and that red color-WOW!

Isn't that a locker hooking tool? Or a rug hooking tool?

I've used a tool like that to pull strips of wool through burlap into loops to make primitive wool rugs.

It is a crochet hook. I have one like it and it's very comfortable when crocheting. Mine is a J hook.

Is it a crochet hook? It is such a fine small thing I wasn't sure because the handle was so heavy and large-Thanks ladies!

My vote is for crochet hook with ergonomic handle

Like Kris suggested, I have seen rug makers use that hook.

Maybe its original design was as a crochet hook, but has also found usefulness as a rug hook. I do like the bright red handle. The flatness of the hook makes me wonder though.

It is not a latch hook rug tool (it lacks the movable part that closes the hook, to prevent the yarn from coming out) and it is not a locker hook tool either (that has a hook at one end and the eye of a needle at the other).
I say its a crochet hook. Most likely to use with heavy yarns or fabric.
I worked for years in a craft supply store (stitchery dept). Rarely sold them (a few spinners used them) until crocheting rugs with fabric became popular again. |

That's what I use mine for. It's great for soft fabrics.

I have seen hooks like these at Michaels Or, I thought I did because I thought it was a crochet hook with an ergonomic handle. Wouldn't a "latch" hook have a latch on the end to "hook" the loop of yarn on?
