There are folks, however, who want to learn how to rug hook and now have all this time on their hands. While we can’t meet up with you in person, here are are some links to info that will get you started:
Check out these free videos with how-to instructions:
- Deanne Fitzpatrick is in Nova Scotia and has a wonderful studio. You can buy beginner kits from her, and she will ship them to you.
- Cindy Gaye is us-based and the video linked here starts off a bit weird but she provides some good detail. She has tons of other videos on her website.
If you like books, here’s a new source....internet archive is putting together a resource of materials for online teaching during the pandemic and they just happen to include a bunch of rug hooking books and cindy Gaye videos
Maybe you have the materials on hand at home?
- a hook....even a crochet hook will do, 2-3mm
- burlap or linen for rug hooking
- a frame or embroidery hoop, to hold the burlap taut while you hook
- stuff to hook with.....wool fabric, yarn, polyester fleece are most commonly used
If you prefer to purchase stuff, here are links to folks who can provide beginner kits, and hooks and hoops, etc.
- Karen Kaiser is in Belleville and I know she can mail to you, or provide pick up from her front porch
- Loretta Moore is located north of Kingston, in Westport. She also will provide beginner kits via mail
Keep watching our blog for updates on when we’ll be meeting again.
