Product Information
Full details
The Hemline Natural Wooden Toggles are an ideal fastening solution for crafters, hobbyists, and DIY garment makers looking to add a rustic, classic finish to their handmade projects. These 50mm toggles offer a sturdy and stylish alternative to buttons or zippers, making them perfect for thick knit cardigans, coats, and heavy-duty bags. While they provide excellent durability and aesthetic appeal, note that they are limited to a two-hole design, which may require careful alignment during sewing to ensure they remain secure under tension.

FAQs
Can these toggles be used on light fabrics?
They are best suited for medium to heavy-weight fabrics; using them on delicate or very light fabric may result in sagging or tearing.
How long is each toggle?
Each toggle measures 50mm in length.
Are these toggles machine washable?
While they are durable, it is recommended to hand wash garments with wooden toggles to preserve the wood's finish and integrity.
Does the pack include the cord for the loop?
No, this pack contains only the two wooden toggles. You will need to source your own cord or yarn to create the closure loops.
Is the wood treated or natural?
The toggles are natural wood and may have slight variations in grain and color, which is typical of the material.
Troubleshooting
The toggle feels loose after sewing.
Re-stitch the toggle using a thicker thread or double your thread strand to create more tension.
Fabric is tearing near the attachment point.
Add a small piece of fusible interfacing or a reinforcing patch on the reverse side of the fabric to distribute weight.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Adds a professional and rustic look to handmade items
- High-quality natural wood material is sturdy
- Large 50mm size makes them easy to handle and grasp
- Simple two-hole design allows for quick attachment
Cons
- Only two toggles included per pack
- Two-hole attachment may be less secure than four-hole options for heavy-use items
- Material may be sensitive to harsh laundry detergents or high-heat drying
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the toggles, use a heavy-duty sewing needle and a thick thread suitable for the weight of your fabric. Align the toggle with your intended closure point and sew through the two pre-drilled holes multiple times, reinforcing the stitches to ensure a long-lasting hold.
Compatibility: These toggles are best paired with heavy cord or yarn loops rather than standard buttonholes.
Care Instructions: To maintain the finish of the wood, hand-wash garments featuring these toggles in cold water. Avoid soaking the toggles for extended periods and remove them before dry cleaning or high-heat tumble drying, as excessive moisture and heat can cause natural wood to crack or discolor.
