The seed idea of rug hooking is planted
What is rug hooking? How do the loops stay in? Where do I get supplies? Is it easy? What if I don’t have any artistic talent? Where do I find other rug hookers? You love fabric and are unsure abut what to do with wool, but you want to know more.
You are thirsty for information. At this stage the biggest danger is that you become an information gatherer (or worse a supplies and equipment gatherer) and never actually start rug hooking. These lessons will point you in the right direction, but start pulling loops as soon as you can.
The technique of rug hooking is very simple, but you can spend the rest of your life learning the finer points.
