I have had so many people ask for bigger kits that I decided it's time I hooked a few of them. I am really happy with the way this rug turned out - very primitive and big enough for just about anywhere you'd like to place it. The kit includes everything you need to complete this 20 X 28 inch Primitive Hooked Rug. Care has been taken in the packaging of this kit - it comes in a very sturdy zipper lock bag that's most convenient for taking it out and putting away at your leisure. It's a pretty simple design with a great mix of dyed and as is 100% wool strips - a mixture of brand new and washed and recycled wools stripped to a #8 size which is perfect for primitive rug hooking. The pattern is drawn on a lovely cotton monks cloth with a 2 X 2 grid - so nice to work with. It would make a great wall hanging, table centerpiece or floor mat. The colors in this piece are mostly dyed and over dyed shades giving it a beautiful primitive look when finished. The pennies are hooked with a mixture of eight or nine different  solid colors  and a couple of plaids and the stars are done in alternating shades of primitive plaid. The backgrounds of the pennies and stars are done with alternating shades of pitch black and primitive charcoal  This kit is simple enough for the beginner, but would also make a great project for the seasoned rug hooker. Here's what you will receive if you purchase this kit:<p>Color Photo of Completed Rug Comprehensive Rug Hooking Instructions Color Key # 8 Cut Wool Strips Pattern Hand Drawn on cotton monks cloth Rug Binding for the Finished Rug I accept paypal, money orders and personal checks - a postage fee of  8.50 for priority mail within the U.S. or 9.75 airmail to Canada will be added to the winning bid. I do offer a postage discount when more than one item is purchased. If this is your first project I would suggest a quilting hoop frame which can be purchased at any fabric store. There are more user friendly and costly frames available, but I did my first couple of rugs on a quilting hoop and then graduated to the more expensive frame.  Should you need a hooking tool, I have solid maple medium Moshimer hooks available for $6.00 with any kit purchase. If you have any questions or would like to discuss rug hooking in general, please email me and thanks for your interest in my work. Kit comes from a smoke free home.
