The Class:
Explore the world of wide cut wool! In this class, we will be using predominately #8.5 cuts all the way up to hand-torn or hand-cut wool strips to create a soft, supple rug. We’ll explore the use of textured wool and see how it can enhance and add beauty to the design. Let’s play with those plaids!
Students should choose a primitive or folk art-style pattern with a simpler design. I can help you find the perfect pattern, if needed. Students will also need to bring a large-shanked hook. I will have a selection of hooks available to purchase during class time.
