If you're into cross stitch, the Ebherys 5-Inch Embroidery Hoops are definitely worth a look. From what we've found, these hoops are made from good quality beech wood, so they're tough and have a nice smooth finish—great for any kind of embroidery and needlework, including cross stitch.
You get four hoops in the set, each 5 inches in diameter. This is handy if you like working on multiple projects at once or want a backup ready to go. They don't come with fabric, but that's actually a bonus since you get to pick your own materials and have a little creative fun.
What really shines about these hoops is their solid build. The wood is well-finished, and the metal screw and rivet are sturdy enough to keep your fabric tight without slipping, which is super important for getting those cross stitch designs just right.
Our research shows they keep a nice circular shape, so you won’t have to deal with any annoying fabric warping—something that can really throw off your embroidery.
People also love the smooth operation of the clasp; it makes tightening the fabric really easy. That's a big plus whether you're new to this or you're a seasoned crafter wanting a hassle-free experience.
That said, while most of the feedback is positive, we did find a few reports of the metal clasps arriving damaged. But those seem pretty rare and not a widespread issue.
Overall, these Ebherys hoops are a reliable pick for both beginners and experienced needleworkers. They're durable, user-friendly, and feel nice to use—definitely worth considering if you need a dependable set of hoops for your cross stitch work.
