Prym Carpet Needle for knitting chopped wool

The knotting of Smyrna rugs is based on a very old Greek tradition and remains a popular knotting technique even after centuries. Prym's lockable latch hooks are the ideal tools for this handy job. As soon as the latch hook tip passes through the tarp, the hook latch opens automatically. This allows the thread to be picked up and pulled through the canvas. During this process, the hook closes itself, preventing the thread from slipping. The two latch hooks for Smyrna and Feinsmyrna are equipped with a wooden handle and allow comfortable work. Prym's lockable latch hooks are the ideal tools for this handy job.
