Latch Hook Rugs



If you want to get involved in such a fascinating occupation as rugs hooking, you can not do without some specialized tools. It is simple enough to learn how to latch hook rugs, but there are some differences in a fabric, design, and technique that you might apply. You may need the following tools to latch hook rugs: a drawing that serves as a pattern, scraps of fabric in colors to suit your pattern, a hook that can be purchased in many stores, scissors, a masking tape, a permanent marker, yarn to match your fabric scraps, a big needle and straight pins at last.

To start latch hook rugs, cut the fabric into strips that are about inch wide and about fifteen inches long.

For thicker fabrics like wool, cut narrower strips and for thinner fabrics like cotton, cut wider strips. You should cut very carefully to avoid fraying while latch hook rugs. Creative people would latch hook rugs with colorful patterns or images of the things in their lives.
