Oxford Gripper Strip Lap Frames are Fabulous for Punching!

A taut foundation is the key to great results! Loose fabric creates resistance and bounces under the needle, making it harder to punch and more challenging to form consistent loops. When your backing is stretched taut on a frame the punch needle glides smoothly, loops are more even, and your hands can stay relaxed.

Oxford Gripper Strip Lap Frame

Our lightweight and sturdy pine Oxford Gripper Strip Lap Frames keep your monk’s cloth foundation fabric stretched “tight as a drum,” to help you punch successfully. Each frame is made with high-quality gripper strips to hold fabric securely as you punch, making your movements more efficient and your stitches more consistent. These frames come in a wide range of sizes to suit every project and have been a long-favored choice in the Oxford Rug Hooking School.

Features:

  1. Strong yet lightweight pine construction
  2. Marked corners for fast assembly
  3. Built-in screw system for travel and storage
  4. Compatible with all Oxford Punch Needles
  5. Easy and extremely quick to use.
  6. Keeps your backing exceptionally taut; improves loop height, speed and ease of punching.

Available sizes:

  1. 6" x 6" (15 x 15 cm)
  2. 10” x 10” (25 x 25 cm)
  3. 14” x 14” (35 x 35 cm)
  4. 18” x 18” (45 x 45 cm)
  5. 15” x 26” (38 x 66 cm)

For punch needle rug hooking your rug backing needs to be stretched REALLY tight on a frame - as tight as a drum. You should be able to bounce a quarter on it!

You ll love how quick and simple it is to stretch your rug patterns onto these frames. Getting your backing tight will be easy as pie! Experienced punchers know that when your backing is tight your punch will glide through it with ease – making the craft more relaxing with the added benefit of reducing hand and wrist strain. Taut backing will also make your loops more even! Our high-quality pine frames are sturdy without being heavy. These are the most popular frames at The Oxford Rug Hooking School.

Frame Note

This frame is suitable for use with 3-ply or other heavy-duty wool rug yarn or #6, #7, or #8 cut strips of wool fabric. Moving your rug is not recommended if you’re using fine yarns, fine strips of fabric, or textured fancy, designer, or novelty type yarns. Fine and fancy fibers will snag on the grippers when you try to move your rug. Sturdier fibers such as rug yarn, #6, #7, or #8 cut strips of wool will not snag. They just peel right off the grippers unharmed.
If you're NOT going to move your rug you can go wild and use any fibers you choose!

Great Ball Launcher!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
Our dogs love this ball launcher! I can throw the ball long distances without any arm strain. The balls wear out, and as described by others, tennis balls don’t fit. Buy extra balls if this is of concern. We bought a few of the “Chuck It” rubber 3” balls and they have worked well for our dogs. It’s a great value and fun for the dogs.

Chuckit!! Just Chuck it!!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
Chuck it further than your skinny little arms can chuck it. Doggo loved this, I loved this and when we were done Doggo promptly hid it under the porch so I couldn’t take it from him. It’s not a squeaky toy, it’s for fetch. You wing it out toward the yard and it flies, bounces if it’s lucky then is attacked in an adoring manner. We like it!!

The best way to tire your dog out in the dark
Size: 25in
My 7 month Golden Retriever puppy has way too much energy. And I go to work in the dark, and come home in the dark. This was the solution. First of all if you get this, I suggest a UV flashlight to charge it. Most of these phosphors for glow in the dark items have very strong optical absorption in the UV, and the UV will charge both the ball and the launcher in seconds. I shine the light at the launcher with the ball in it, since you can then see where the launcher is when you are trying to load the ball. I use this UV flashlight, which takes qty=3 AA batteries. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A5KLUG2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have never used a launcher before and I learned it within about 10 throws. It is easy to have a basic competence. I live in a suburban area and I send the ball across front lawns, trying to avoid the street, or hitting my neighbors parked cars. I can consistently do this now with the launcher, which is a big improvement over the old tennis racket and ball routine. I got the 25" medium ball launcher, which also works for tennis balls. The scoop goes easily over the Chuck-it balls. My older dog is not taking to it, since he was trained to sit and give the ball. This works better if you have the dog drop the ball so you can scoop it. The glow in the dark ball has 2 holes (think wiffle) that have a low pitch whooshing whistle as you toss it. This is great for my puppy who gets easily distracted as the glowing ball and the noise it makes really helps him propery mark it. Overall I think the dog retrieves better in the dark as there are fewer distractions, and I feel better about the dark for retrieving since there is no traffic early in the morning (both foot and auto). The ball has some squish to it and the pup loves to chew on it as he brings it back. I do not let him play with it when we are not retrieving...better for him to destroy his chew bones and ropes. It took him about 5 tries to get the hang of picking up the new ball. The older dog (13yr old golden) does not like it and only goes for tennis balls. I can tell already this is my puppy's favorite toy ever. I put it up out of reach across coat hooks in the entryway, and that pup will sit there staring at it, then at me, then at it hoping that I will go out and use it. With bounces and rolls and the puppy missing the grab this has gone 100-150' across 3 front lawns. I am looking forward to giving it a go in the park on the weekend. Main problems with the pup now are he likes to parade around me with the ball when he comes back, then lie down and try to give it a proper chew. If I use my launcher to pick it up, I have to put my foot between him and the ball since he will try to get it back fast. Overall this launcher means faster pickup, faster release, more accurate release, good distance, and a better run per time allocation than the old tennis racket and ball routine.

Chuck a Glowing Ball
Size: 18in
This baby ball checker is good for a medium sized dog because of the size of the ball which glows in the dark. It is a handy feature for playing with the dog at night. It is fairly priced, durable. It doesn’t squeak and is not made to be chewed. F your dog likes to run around after balls this should be good for you.
