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 or bug 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 bee 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. Your technique will improve and you’ll pick up speed throughout the day and have the skills you need to create your own designs at home.
Materials Charge
There is a £45 material charge payable on the day for this workshop if you want to purchase and use the hooking frame, the hessian and bee/bug design, all yarn and a hooking tool (a £20 saving on the RRP).
If you already have a frame and hook the materials charge will be £23.
If you would like to make the kit on the embroidery hoop then the materials charge will be £25.
Please note hooking these designs on a hooking frame is the easiest way to complete the design, however, if you make the kit on an embroidery hoop, the hooking process will be slower and not quite as rhythmic.
Design options:
- bee
- beetle
- flybug
- butterfly
****Please do email us at least a fortnight before the workshop to tell us which design you would like to do****
