This listing is for a complete rug hooking kit by Sharon Perry. I can't tell you how many people have taught themselves traditional rug hooking (not latch hook) using these kits. It comes with the following:
100% wool fabric strips cut in #8 (1/4") and some #6's for the posies
A color photo of the finished piece along with a color key
Pattern drawn on a soft cotton monks cloth sealed at the edges to prevent fraying
Easy to follow rug hooking instructions
Cotton binding to finish it off once you have it hooked
The only other items you will need are a rug hook and a frame to put your piece in. I started off with a quilting hoop and did several rugs on that before spending more money and getting a floor frame. I think you need to determine whether you like a hobby before spending a ton of money on it. As for the hook, I have hardwood and steel primitive hooks listed for $12.00 but you can opt to add one to this kit at checkout for the low price of just $7.25.
This kit when completed measures 13 1/2 inches round and would make a great chair pad, table centerpiece, pillow top or wall hanging. The cat is hooked with black and white herring bone, black, white and touch of rose cheapest for the nose. The antique posies are done with mixed hand dyed yellows, mustards and pumpkin. The kit also comes with a variety of hand and milled dyed blues and greens for the grass and sky. Any questions please email me and thanks for taking the time to look at my item. All of my items come from a smoke free home.
If you would like to see how this craft is done just go to my daughter's website loopbyloopstudio.com for some instructional videos as well as tips for new rug hookers.
