Online Rug Hooking for Beginners 

This beginners' primitive wool rug hooking class covers all aspects of a small rug project! It will introduce you to a step by step process that may be used for other wool rug projects, (whether you are inspired to design your own, or purchase a pattern and/or kit for a new project). 

It will introduce you to how to select and prepare foundation cloth, how to trace patterns on tulle netting, what tools will work best, how to select and cut wool or yarn, how to hook and how to finish your project.
This seminar provides a kit to create a 5"x5" wool mug rug.

Each student will be able to select 1 of 7 patterns to use for their rug: including an octopus, a dragonfly, and a coffee cup and saucer.

Attendees will learn how to complete a primitive wool rug project, from transferring a pattern to the foundation cloth, preparing the foundation cloth, cutting wool strips (noodles), or yarn, hooking the rug and finishing the edges.
