FAQs
Are these hooks suitable for real fur?
These hooks are specifically designed and covered for faux fur. While they might function on real fur, their optimal performance and aesthetic are tailored for synthetic fibers.
How many hooks and eyes are included?
The product information does not specify the exact quantity per pack, but typically hook and eye sets come with corresponding numbers of hooks and eyes.
Can I dye these hooks to match my fabric?
The polyester thread covering is not designed to be dyed. It is recommended to use the beige color as is, or select a different color if available.
What does 'rust protected' mean?
It means the metal components have a treatment applied to resist oxidation and staining from rust, increasing their lifespan and maintaining appearance.
How do I attach them without sewing?
These fasteners are designed for sewing. There is no no-sew attachment method recommended for optimal security and appearance.
What is the primary benefit of the polyester thread covering?
The polyester thread covering provides a smoother finish, prevents snagging on delicate faux fur fibers, and offers a more integrated look with the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Hook does not close securely
Ensure the hook and eye are correctly aligned and that the fabric behind them is firm enough to support the closure. Re-stitch if the fastener has become loose.
Fastener feels loose on the fabric
The fastener may not be securely stitched. Add more stitches around the base of the hook and eye, ensuring they are anchored firmly to the fabric.
Rust spot appeared on the hook
While rust-protected, prolonged exposure to moisture can still cause minor surface rust. Gently clean with a soft cloth and a tiny amount of metal polish, then ensure the area is dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These hooks and eyes are designed to be sewn onto fabric. Position the hook and eye pieces on the garment where you want the closure to be. Using a strong thread that matches your garment or the hook's color, carefully stitch each hook and eye securely to the fabric. Ensure stitches go through the pre-drilled holes (if present) or around the base of the fastener for maximum hold.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for use with faux fur fabrics. They can also be used on other medium-weight fabrics where a discreet hook-and-eye closure is desired, though their specific design is optimized for faux fur.
Care: To maintain the finish and function, hand wash garments with these fasteners if necessary, using mild detergent and cool water. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the hooks. Allow the garment to air dry. For machine washing, place the garment in a mesh laundry bag to protect the fasteners.
