In this class I will teach you how to pull up loops and turn them into a small mat that you can use as a wall hanging, part of a pillow, or a hot pad. What’s Included in the class: • A high-quality linen backing • A selection of 9” x 9” patterns for you to choose from • A rug hooking frame for your use during class • Rug hooking tools for your use during class • A selection of dyed and undyed wool fabrics woven especially for rug hooking and wool yarn appropriate for rug hooking for you to use to create your mat. • Use of a Honeydoo Rug Cutter during class to cut your strips of wool for hooking. Rug Hooking is a craft that began out of necessity (coverings for cold floors) in a time when the United States was a fledgling country and only the wealthy could afford to have rugs for their homes brought over by ship from England. Using burlap flour sacks as the backing and scraps of worn clothes as the filler, these early Americans covered their floors and other surfaces with beautiful rugs. It's a simple craft -- pulling a fabric strip up through a backing fabric into a loop (many, many times) until the backing fabric is completely covered – that can produce many different styles of art. Come join the fun!
