Does anyone do this? I learned years ago and would like to find some good sites that i can refresh myself with or find wool or supplies i might need.

I've done the latch hooking, that's not the same thing is it? I remember being taught to do the latch hook thing back in elementary school. We had a simple project in Home Ec with the yarn and such...it was basically a black background with a yellow smiley face. Gosh, I wonder what I did with that thing? LOL.

This is alot different. You work with a piece of burlap and wool strips and a rug hook. You cut the wool yourself and create a pattern on the burlap. You should buy a special wood frame for the burlap to be stretched on as you hook. Its alot of work on your hands but its fun to mess with the wool and drys to mix colors. You can use onion skins on the wool or beet skins to make colors. The key is to keep it primitive and natural. Rarely do you use anything but wool and natural dyes on it.

Does anyone have a good book or website that can teach how to do this? I would really be interested in learning how, I am looking for a new hobby.

am not sure if you have to go that bioorganic to enjoy latch hooking.

Latch hooking is the sport of kings. I used to do all the latch hooking in the dpeartment store where my mom worked then to keep me from doing the whole diplay they got me some yarn for at home.

I would love to make kits of the webbing with the dyes and the yarns cut and included. The sky is the limit.

I am trying to find a website myself. I was taught in a class by this local lady years ago. You never loose the knowledge on how to do it but i cant find anyone that supplies the goods and has the same interest.
