About Hook, Line & Tinker Embroidery Kits

We're New York times Wirecutter Pick!!! Founded by embroidery artist Laurie Dolhan in 2017, Hook, Line & Tinker embraces creative imperfection and the pure joy of making. We are a busy small-batch, craft production studio designing and selling fabulous, modern embroidery kits. Care for people, respect for the environment, and a deep desire to create something meaningful and real through a shared act of making, are principles firmly embedded into every aspect of our business. Lots of love goes into each and every kit - so we only produce in small batches in our home-based studio. The coffee is always excellent and the music, or a podcast, is almost always on. Each piece of preprinted, 100% cotton fabric is cut by hand. We print our own fabric using a very fancy Mimaki TX300P-1800 fabric printer. (AKA, "The Beast") All our patterns are highly unique originals designed by Laurie Dolhan. The limited colour palette and use of recurring motifs is purposeful - finished hoops hang well as mix-and-match groupings and tell a cohesive story within a theme. Some patterns are easy-peasy first time friendly, others are for ambitious beginners. But all allow for creativity, experimentation, and of course...calm. We wholly support selling online.
