    Great video. I love rug hooking and have dabbled with it many years ago. I am very envious of the supplies for rug hooking in the U.S. as here in the U.K. it isn't such a popular craft and supplies are limited. I may try to do a doodle rug on a small scale and try to get back into it. Many thanks for sharing your video and I love your big Santa.

    Oh my, I just stumbled across your video. I have totes full of will, patterns, tools,cutters and who knows what else. I had two aunts who made hooked rugs for years. They dyed and cut their own wool. One aunt designed all the patterns. They were old farm girls and during the long dark winter nights they would sit and hook. They made the most beautiful rugs, and I am lucky enough to have two. Unfortunately I never had a chance to sit and learn from they but I do have all the supplies. One day I will find a place to maybe take a lesson or two.

    • @w.cushingco.7414

      The backing fabric is linen which is what we use as it lasts longer and a more even weave

    Oh my goodness, I am a new hooker. I finished my first rug (wall hanging) . I will now take it off the wall and throw it in the garbage. I can see I did nothing right. At first I thought it was beautiful. Back to square one.

So I do really appreciate this video! Sometimes you need to hear someone else to help you process your own creative ideas! 💡 it can be tricky when it’s an uncommon practice, my friends look at me blankly when I mention it ahah.
