Master the Flow of the Chain Stitch.
At Northern Trades & Mercantile Co., we provide the tools that bridge the gap between tradition and modern efficiency. The Tambour Embroidery Set—named for the French word for "drum"—is a specialized tool designed for makers who require precision, speed, and structural integrity in their beadwork.
Whether you are filling in large floral patterns on a velvet yoke or securing dentalium onto ceremonial regalia, the tambour hook allows you to work with a rhythmic chain stitch that is significantly faster than traditional needle-and-thread methods once mastered.
This set is designed to stay in your sewing bag for a lifetime. The ergonomic wooden handle is weighted for comfort, reducing hand fatigue during those long winter nights of craftsmanship.
This Set Includes:
Ergonomic Wood Handle: A classic, turned-wood holder with a brass tension screw for secure needle placement.
Three Interchangeable Hooks: Includes three different gauges to accommodate various thread weights, from fine Nymo to heavy-duty sinew.
Instructional Guide: Basic steps to help you find your rhythm and master the tambour chain stitch.
In Northern beadwork, the "Voyager" or "Floral" style often requires dense fills and flowing outlines. The tambour hook functions like a microscopic crochet needle, pulling thread from the underside of a stretched frame to lock beads and sequins into place with a durable, interlocking stitch. It is the secret to high-end, textured regalia that stands the test of time.
Sustain Your Heritage. Honor the Craft.
