This is a fun new technique we've been playing with. I bought this beautiful piece of damask fabric a few years ago while antiquing in Vermont. I knew that I wanted to use it in a fun way but the idea didn't come to me until now. I wanted to incorporate it into a hooked rug. By hooking and stitching we have created this pretty cone flower. Using a "bump" technique to raise the damask, it fits in nicely in the nice, lush loops of the rug hooking. This little kit is 9 x 14 and will come to you drawn on monks cloth or linen. It will come with the two "whites" for the background, the green and brown woolens and the pretty damask fabric, as well as some batting and instructions. Give this a try, it will open up a world of other possibilities for your hooked rugs.
All of our patterns are drawn on monks cloth, paying close attention to the straight of the grain. Linen is available for an extra fee. Please select above if you would like your kit to come on monks cloth or linen.
Patterns and kits come with a colored cover photo, unless otherwise noted, including a rug recipe card with our recommended woolen amounts and the size of strip we used to hook it. However, you may hook using whatever size strips you would like.
Kits include the pattern and all woolens needed to hook the design. We have included wool amounts that we used (plus a bit extra) to hook the rug. We realize that all hookers hook differently. Some hookers hook much looser and will have leftover wool, some hook higher or tighter and may need extra. We encourage you to keep all wool tags that label your wool as well as your rug recipe card, in the event you may need to purchase more.
