We have 60 inch wide Monk's Cloth available for $20.00 per yard plus shipping.

 We have 64 inch wide Primitive Linen (natural) for $30.00 per yard plus shipping.

Hooks   We carry the Ritchie Hook made by Les Ritchie of Reeth, England. This is a great hook for primitive rug hooking too. It comes in three sizes: 4mm, 6mm or 8mm. The 6 mm and 8 mm hooks are available in steel as well as bronze. The 8 mm hook is great for primitive rug hooking. It opens the backing up and allows you to easily pull the loop through. When you pull the wool through your backing it produces a more round loop because of the diameter of the shank. If you don't specify steel or brass we will ship whichever is in stock.

Barbara likes the two larger sizes; use the 6mm for cuts below 8 and the 8 mm for cuts above 8 and especially nice for hand cut strips.

Our newest handle shape, the "Ligonier" Hook. Click on picture to enlarge.

This is a great alternative to the Pencil Handle - NEAT!!!  $45.00 ea. plus shipping.

I recommend you own at least two hooks with different handle shapes. It is a good idea to change hooks from time to time to reduce the possibility of carpal tunnel irritation.

Scissors    We are pleased to have the Gingher Scissors. They truly are the best scissors and a pleasure to work with. Barbara uses them all of the time.

Appliqué scissors have offset handles. This design allows comfortable hand positioning above the rug to make close and precise cutting simple while the rug is on your frame.

Yarn   We now carry selected colors of Paternayan yarn ($0.89 per skein plus shipping) and the gold tapestry needle (pack of two for $2.99). Call for current color selection.

If you would like us to match your wool, send us a swatch and the measurements of your rug.
