This listing is for a complete rug hooking kit designed, packaged, and sold by Sharon Perry. I can't tell you how many people have taught themselves traditional rug hooking (not latch hook) using these kits. This kit which is suitable for the beginner or seasoned rug hooker comes with the following items:
100% wool fabric cut in #8 (1/4") strips and some #6's (3/16") for tighter spots
A color photo of the finished piece along with a color key
Pattern drawn on a lovely cotton monks cloth
Easy to follow rug hooking instructions
Cotton binding to finish it off once you have it hooked
If this is your first project the only other items you will need are a rug hook and a frame to put your piece in. I started off with a quilting hoop and did several rugs on that 2024 before spending more money and getting a floor frame. I think you need to determine whether you like a hobby before spending a ton of money on it. As for the hook, I have hardwood and steel primitive hooks listed for $12.00 but if you want to purchase one with the kit the price is just $7.25.
This kit when completed measures 6 X 24 inches and would make a great table accent/runner or wall hanging especially over a door or window frame. The starfish in the middle is hooked with burnt orange and a lovely textured orange herring bone. The fish on both ends are done with a mix of blues, greens, grays and textured wine - most of which are ombre stripes to give them motion and contrast. The background is hooked with a pale gray and very light blue ombre stripe from Dorr.
To see a demonstration of this craft please see my daughter's website, loopbyloopstudio.com to find instructional videos and tips for beginners as well as more kits, patterns, etc.
