Rug Hooking Hint for today!


Many beginning hookers worry about having enough wool for backgrounds in their primitive or wide-cut rugs! Collecting several different pieces of background wools close in value and colour, rather than using a single wool can help. Divide your pattern background into fourths. Divide your wools into four piles and work in each section of your background. Leave some spaces open...don't fill all your background in. If you have enough wool, that's terrific! But, if you need to add more background wool simply select or buy another colour close in value, add some to each of your four sections and -voila!-it looks like you planned it that way!
