This listing is for a complete rug hooking kit designed by Sharon Perry. It includes everything you need to complete this 11 X 16 inch Primitive Hooked Rug. The rug would make a beautiful wall hanging, table centerpiece,chair pad or primitive pillow top. Lots of people hang these mats on old cupboards as well. Here\'s what you will receive if you purchase this kit:

If this is your first project the only other items that you will need are a hook and a frame to put your pattern into to keep it taut. I started out with a quilting hoop and did several rugs on that before graduating to a larger frame. There\'s no sense investing in expensive tools until you\'re sure you enjoy a hobby. As for the hook I have always used a Moshimer hook which I sell for $14.00 but if you choose the option to add one to this kit the price is reduced to just $8.00.
The pennies are hooked from the outside in with a gorgeous variety of great dyed and as is shades if wool fabric strips. For the background you will receive a mixture of navy, eggplant and other darks. For a finishing touch I added a couple of rows of over dyed charcoal.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss rug hooking in general, please email me and thanks for your interest in my work.
All of my items come from a smoke free home. To get an idea how easy this is to do just google \"primitive rug hooking\". There are several video demonstrations on U Tube
