Straight Latch Hook 6.25" — Precision Hinged Tool for Latched Rugs

Turn pre-cut yarn into cozy, professional-looking latched rugs with the Straight Latch Hook 6.25". This hinged, straight-hook design pairs a comfortable wood handle with a delt-free shaft to create a uniform knotted pile, edge-to-edge, in fewer passes. Ideal for crafters who value control, consistency, and clean results in every project.

What makes this latch hook stand out

• Hinged straight-hook design delivers uniform loop depth and tidy piles, making it easier to maintain even tension across large or intricate patterns.
• 6.25" length strikes a balance between precision for detail work and reach for bigger sections, reducing hand fatigue during longer sessions.
• Wood handle provides a natural, comfortable grip that stays cool and reduces slipping as you work.
• Pre-cut yarn compatibility tailored for short, pre-cut pieces that form a smooth, knotted pile without snagging or fraying.
• Durable construction built to withstand repetitive use across multiple projects—rugs, wall hangings, and decorative mats alike.

How to use it effectively

1. Prepare your latch hook canvas and measure your pattern; ensure your yarn pieces are uniform in length for even piles.
2. Hold the tool at a comfortable angle and insert the straight hook into the canvas at the next stitch.
3. Pull a short yarn piece through, secure the loop, and gently release to form a neat pile.
4. Continue in sequence, using the hinged hook to maintain consistent pile height and clean edges.
5. Finish sections as you go to prevent over-stretching the canvas and to keep your design crisp.

Care, maintenance & tips

Wipe the tool with a dry cloth after use to remove fibers. Keep the wood handle dry and in a well-ventilated area to preserve its finish. Store with the hook covered or in a protective case to prevent accidental snagging. When switching yarn colors, insert a quick scrap thread through the hook to prevent dulling or friction on the tip.
