I live in Mallorca and have two pet sheep that I rescued when they were babies. One is snowy white and the other a beautiful cinnamon color. I'm going to try this!
Oh what a wonderful tutorial. I got the needle in with some crochet hooks from a thrift store years ago. I found out the name of the needle online, but didn't have time to put it to work. Now retired and with your instructions , I'll be starting 'another' project....Got time now ! ! Thank you very much. New subbie from upstate NY, to Crafts of Ireland.💙💚💙
My Dad told me that you could make saddle blankets with wool fleece and burlap sacking but he didn’t know how they did it. He said the horses never got sore backs with them.
I’m a 64 y/o Spaniard living in the USA and love doing all sorts of fiber work. Ihad never seen this type and would love to try it. Thanks so much for the video.
Bought this Needle /hook in craft shop just in case 😁🤔 couple of years ago didn't know what is for 😂 Your teaching video came out of the blue 👍👌😅amazing!!! I learned something very new and useful! Now going to use my tool sitting in box wating to be used 👍💖😊thank you for your MK video 💝💐🎉🤗
Absolutely fascinating, thankyou. I’ve been to Ireland many times on family holidays. You are truly the loveliest people we have ever met. So thoughtful, kind, generous. 💖🇬🇧
I picked up this tool in a bundle with other crochet hooks at the thrift store and had no idea what it was for. Now I know, and maybe some day will try it. Thank you for the tutorial.
I’ve never heard of this but I love it! I’m going to check out the kits you mentioned. Thank you so much. This is an excellent video with great instruction and I love your accent.
Wonderful! I LOVE working with hand processed fibre, being a spinner, so really, really appeals. I’m currently in NZ, but moving to Wales in a months time, so will order a kit when I’ve got a home address again!
I have never heard of this! But I do have one of those crochet hooks with a needle eye on the back end. I got it at a thrift store in a bag of motions, I think. I didn't know what it was for until now. I love this technique. As a crocheter, this looks like something I can do, as soon as I find some wool roving. We don't have a lot of sheep in Oklahoma. lol Thanks for the lesson. Jan
I think you could use thick yarn or t-shirt strips or even hand made string from cloth. Until you get roving, just think you will be so proficient by then.💙💚💙
@@cosmiccoyotedog-doreenb9605 absolutely! I could even use fleece. Not fleece wool, but that polyester stuff that's running rampant these days. I have piles of it. I just have to determine how wide to cut it. This stuff is indestructible. It would make a cozy little rug. Thanks for the encouragement!
Thank you, I'm so happy to have found this video. I saw lumra work in a copy of the ICA book a couple of years ago and have been wanting to try it but have had problems finding a hook. Will be buying a kit when they're available 🙂
You can get Tunisian needles with the needle hole in the end . also look for knooking hook . I am betting a really smart Irish lady thought knooking was a rubbish way to work and transferred it to a decent backing support and a much better result . this is awesome
Locker Hooking was a fad in Australia in the 1970s. Often done with fabric strips and recycled yarn as well in the last few decades. Using fleece makes wonderful floor rug and seat mats/cushions.
Wonderful video and I'd like to possible get a kit but I don't see them listed on your website. Will they be available later in the year? Thank you so much!!
@CraftsofIreland Looked on your website and cannot find the Lumra needle for sale there or the kits. Can you direct me where to find this. Thank You 🇨🇦
@@grabowskycountry Hi there! Our kits have just launched today at an event in New York. Our kits will be available to buy from our website in the coming days so be sure to keep an eye on our socials for updates! Thank you

Love the lady showing us how. Clear and concise.
My Dad told me that you could make saddle blankets with wool fleece and burlap sacking but he didn’t know how they did it. He said the horses never got sore backs with them.
What a great idea. I may try that 🤔 😊
This could definitely be the method !!
@@craftsofireland does the wool still have some lanolin in it? That wld sooth the horses skin and prevent rubbing.
@@Mangalsews-sp5uxwe do minimal washing so yes you can still feel the lanolin in our wool
@@craftsofireland excellent. So hard to find these days.

I always like learning new skills. Thank you for sharing. From Washington state USA. 😊😊😊
You are so welcome!
Thank you for showing us the way to do Lumra with raw wool as I am a spinner this is another way to use spare wool😊
You’re welcome 😊

I hope that you meant you found it in a bag of 'notions', not 'motions'!!! 😂

Very interesting, thank you.
Absolutely, so tactile and rugs would be hard wearing
You could coat the back with a latex or silicone layer to give it some grip on the floor
@@bella-beejust pop a non slip layer underneath
You could use a Diz if it's important that your roving is a consistent gauge when preparing the wool.
The results is almost like punch needle. Love it! Thank you!😊
You are so welcome!
Yes I thinks so too, put stronger and won't pull out. We win. Enjoy you day.💙💚💙
I have always wanted a chance to work with roving and this looks like really cool!
We love Wales, maybe a short trip to Ireland too
Thank you so much. I have never heard of this before ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for my lesson in lumra
Awesome 😻
Pretty cool
Huh. I save the strings from the tops of my horse grain/ chicken feed bags and reuse it in knitting and crocheting. Who knew it was a thing :)
In Ireland reuse, recycle was the norm
You mentioned kits - where are they available?
