Yarn Hooking

About this event

Come and enjoy a relaxing day of yarn hooking with Carole Rennison. Learn about yarn hooking, how it differs from traditional rag rug hooking and what gorgeous, finely detailed creations you can make.  You will be working on fine weave hessian, with a small hooking tool and using gorgeous colours of carpet yarn to create your unique picture of a bee, butterfly, bug or farm animal using one of Carole's "all you will need" kits. Using either the embroidery hoop that comes with the kit or a custom made hooking frame, which is yours to keep, you will start the day learning this simple hooking technique on a sample piece of hessian.  Once you feel you have mastered the technique, you can choose colours for your animal and start hooking your picture. No need to worry about the design as Carole's kit includes the basic design. Once you get into the swing of yarn hooking, it can be the most relaxing and therapeutic process. You won't finish the picture on the day but you will certainly have all the knowledge and materials to complete the design at home.
