Great for suspending silk from your stretcher bars! Leaves just tiny holes that disappear once the silk is washed and ironed. I used to use safety pins and rubber bands but these hooks are better. Just don't sink them into your fingers...they are sharp!

I really like using these but wish they had come with some instructions on how to put the rubber bands on. I made it work!!

I have gone back to these hooks, yet do not like the occasional hole they leave in the edge of the scarf. They also can become stress/ fatigued and will break at where the rubber band places tension.

These break too easily. I like a firm stretch and they are expensive and do not hold up.

These worked perfectly. I did not use them as traditional silk suspension hooks.

Though I like these hooks, I find that the points do break off easily. I also have trouble with them releasing during my painting process. Not sure I will stick with them given the price.
