A rug hooking implement in which a needle is longitudinally moveable within the confines of the longitudinally oriented body of a handle. Such movement is brought about so as to adjust the projection of the needle forwardly of the body. This is accomplished by the interaction between a threaded needle shank and an adjustment wheel. The adjustment wheel is mounted upon the threaded shank and in effect captured by a rear portion of the body. A longitudinally oriented body slot enables a pin to radially inwardly extend through the slot and in contact with the needle so as to prevent rotation of the needle and its threaded shank. As the slot opens through the outer surface of the body, it forms the means by which the forward and rear movement of the needle is regulated as well as an indicating device as to the exact position of the needle with respect to the body.
