I learned to embroider and cross-stitch using a metal hoop that my grandmother gave me when I was seven. Sadly, it somehow vanished somewhere along the way. I now have some cross-stitch WIMs, but I absolutely refuse to use a wooden or plastic hoop. I've tried and I just can't; they feel as though they are going to break, and it ruins my tension.
I've checked Lehman's, Cumberland General Store, Vermont Country Store.... Do any farmgirls know where I might find one?

I learned with metal ones too and prefer them to plastic. Found some a couple years ago at Pacific Fabrics, don't know if they have a website or not. Check on ebay, never know what you will find there.

Found their website, but no luck.  I did see some on eBay though, so will mention it to the Mister (he always has better luck with eBay than I do for some reason).

Deb, the only resale shops near me are clothing places. Most depressing, really.

Sheila, I envy your patience. After bad experiences with the round plastic ones, I saw the square ones and just walked away!
