English term or phrase: locker hooking kit
from a website supplying materials for crafts: "our complete needlecraft program also includes: fabric and novelty yarn locker hooking kits and books, rug yarn punch needle kits, floss punch needle kits, traditional Heritage rug hooking kits, cross stitch coaster and trivet kits etc."

I think I figured out that "latch hooking" is "technique du point noué". However apparently "locker hooking" is a completely different technique, as is the "punch needle" mentioned above, which probably corresponds to "tapisserie bouclette".

Any help sorting out these terms is greatly appreciated!

See definition of Locker hooking:

WHAT IS LOCKER HOOKING?
(No, it's not latch hooking!)
Locker hooking is an "old rug hooking technique" most likely originating in Great Britain, in the early 1900's. The locker hook looks like a 6-1/2" long crochet hook with a large needle 'eye' at the other end. With a locker hook, locking thread (thick string or yarn), latch hook rug canvas, and fabric strips (or yarn, sheep & llama wool, and other materials), you can make beautiful and long lasting rugs, wall hangings, pot holders, hot pads, mug rugs, placemats, blankets, jackets, vests, purses and more! It is very easy, quick, inexpensive, and portable! Great for traveling! It is easy on the hands and eyes, and very therapeutic and relaxing! Anyone can do it!

Explanation:
A locker hook is a crochet needle with a hook on one end and an eye in the other end. The locker hook is used to both pull up loops of thread, yarn, or roving, through a canvas mesh, and to sew them into place by securing them with a thread pulled through the loops. A complete explanation of the process with photographs is at the first M.C.G. Textiles reference.

I've looked for two days and the only reference to locker hooking that I found at a French website is the locker hooking book at Amazon.fr. Unless you have been more successful in your searches than I have, that leaves you with the choice of either not translating it or translating it yourself.

Since this is a hooked rug with the loops secured by a heavy thread, a translation along the lines of "tapis crocheté (avec un fil) de fixation" should get the idea across that this is not the usual form of hooking, or latch hooking, a rug.

Locker Hooking - Here is another craft requiring the use of fleece, carded fibers or pencil roving. Much faster than latch hooking, the locker hooking technique can be used to make garments, rugs, wall hangings, chair pads, saddle blankets, fancy pillows and more!

It uses a tool called a locker hook. On one end only it resembles a crochet hook. The other end has a large eyelet for threading yarn. Using the locker hook you pull loops of unspun wool through a strong canvas… [, which are] then locked into place with the hidden "locker" yarn. Thus, you create the feel and appearance of textured weaving.

Je crois qu'il s'agit de la technique du crochet


Explanation:
"Le tissage au crochet repose sur la même technique que celle du métier à tisser. Il s'agit de constituer une trame (ou grille) au crochet et de la remplir avec de la laine (ou du coton) passée au travers de la grille."

When searching for the terms "locker hooking kit" with google, you can use "images" instead of "web" to see what il looks like. I don't know yet what "hooker" stands for.
