Foundation Material: We offer this kit on two different materials - monks cloth or natural, unbleached linen.  Linen is a nice, soft foundation that has the rustic feel of burlap without being rough on your skin.  Monks Cloth is a cotton based foundation and great for beginners because of it's durability, low cost, and flexibility.

Wool: Please note that many woolen strips are hand dyed and all are hand cut which may cause very slight variations in their shade and thickness. All wools are number 8 size strip unless otherwise noted. All strips are cut but may need to be torn apart to use (Just tear the scored lines quickly to pull apart). I use a variety of solid and textured wools in my kits and wool mixes. Some shredding of textured wools (ombres, herringbones, plaids) is completely normal, expected, and add visual richness to your rug.

Info about our kits:  I always provide enough wool strips to complete every rug, but everyone hooks a little differently. EACH 12-13 INCH LONG STRIP SHOULD COVER ROUGHLY ¼ INCH BY 2.5 OR 3 INCHES (Or take 1.5 to 2 strips per square inch). If not, you are hooking too tight and will run out of wool. You may be asked to email a photo of your progress. There may be a shipping charge for over 20 wool strips. I will do my best to color match. Please see my videos at loopbyloopstudio.com/instructionsandadvice to see appropriate spacing techniques.

About our Hooks: You have the option to include a wooden medium sized hook with your kit. Hooks in kits are only an additional $6 - a great value!

Kits come packaged in a study plastic bag with colorful front page label that includes a large color photo of your kit. Kits will be mailed in a poly mailing bag.
