Barretta Francese con Telaio da Ricamo

I was worried the hoop would be too big for my fine hair, but the French barrette clasp actually holds a small twist really securely. The curved embroidery hoop shape sits flat against my head instead of sticking out. Wore it to a craft fair and got three compliments before lunch.

The pearly white background makes the little stitched pattern really pop, and the gently curved hoop shape sits nicely against my head instead of digging in. I've worn it all day doing errands and it hasn't slipped once.

I wore this to my knitting group and two people asked where I got it before I even sat down. The pearly white background with the little cross stitch detail is subtle but still reads clearly up close. The French barrette clasp holds my thick hair without slipping all afternoon.
