The finished product

All of my kits come with a pattern drawn on linen with a generous 3 ½” - 4" serged border, a color photo and hand dyed wool strips that have been cut using a rotary cutter, mat and ruler. Wool strips are from a #8.5 cut.

When I design my kits I note the amount of wool strips used as I hook the design and then add 10-15% more wool strips to the kit than I used. If you hook higher or tighter than I do, you may need to purchase additional wool strips.

Due to it's size, this kit is available with it's wool cut into wool strips {as mentioned above} or uncut. Uncut wool will come in the form of hand dyed wool in 1/2 yard pieces which you can then cut yourself.

I learned with a primitive Joan Moshimer hook. Here is the listing: www.etsy.com/listing/957798043

Most beginning hookers use a simple embroidery or quilting hoop to start with. You can pick one up at any fabric or craft store for a few dollars.

I use a 2” handmade hoop made by Etsy seller Barnett’s Hoops. It’s a wonderful hoop and worth every penny in my book. www.etsy.com/listing/109455095
