RUG HOOKING KIT - Primitive Flowers on Linen with Hand Dyed Wool

Rug Hooking Kit - Primitive Flowers on Linen - Finished size 10 1/2" x 14 1/2"

If you are a beginner and have never used a rug hook before, I have created a short video on how to use a rug hook with a frame, a quilting hoop or simply hooking in your lap without a hoop or a frame. You can copy and paste the video link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV66txO7zcw

The finished product

All of my kits come with a pattern drawn on linen with a generous 3 ½” - 4" serged border, a color photo and hand dyed wool strips that have been cut using a rotary cutter, mat and ruler. Wool strips will vary from a #8 - #8.5 cut {for the most part}. There may even be a few strips that are smaller or larger than a #8 - #8.5 cut.

When I design my kits I note the amount of wool strips used as I hook the design and then add 10-15% more wool strips to the kit than I used. If you hook higher or tighter than I do, you may need to purchase additional wool strips.

This is the only way I sell my kits. I do not offer kits with uncut wool.

I learned with a primitive Joan Moshimer hook. Here is the listing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/957798043/joan-moshimer-hook-for-rug-hooking

Most beginning hookers use a simple embroidery or quilting hoop to start with. You can pick one up at any fabric or craft store for a few dollars.

I use a 2” handmade hoop made by Etsy seller Barnett’s Hoops. It’s a wonderful hoop and worth every penny in my book. https://www.etsy.com/listing/109455095/rug-hookers-hoops-are-not-instock-please

I hope you find it helpful. I am a visual learner, so watching someone hook is much easier to understand than reading instructions {and hoping you're getting it right in my opinion}.

If you have any more questions, let me know and I'll try to help.
