Ps, just heard Peggy say the thing about the advantage of narrow cuts of wool. I may have had to discover that the wide cuts are painful on my own, and so I'm very grateful to have that hint from the get go!
It would be also very helpful if you'd be able to put a list or link to her recommended supplies, like the favorite products she is using, like the brand and type of bevelled scissors and her favorite pencil type hook etc. I'll go look at her website and see if the info is there too.
I have learned so much from this video. I am brand new to hooking and an still on my very first project. Your work is exquisite and I have decided that I am a fan! Keep those vids coming! Karen
I absolutely love all 4 of your videos/interviews with your mother! I can greatly relate to her history and interest in hooking. I am a teacher as she was, I have memories of going to the local fabric store as a teen to gather "remnant pieces" of wool from the wool mills for her rug braiding, just as your mother did for hooking! I joined a local ATHA Rug Hooking guild about two years ago, and find all the members so very kind and helpful. They know so much!!! I live 15 minutes away from Fort Washington which your mother mentioned in her video! I was wondering if she could share with me the names of her green colors in her rug and which dye company was used (Cushings, Pro Chemical, etc?) Obviously there are values of each color she used, but it seems like she may have used colors with their own values for the different plants. I hope she is able to answer that for me. My upcoming project and my first attempt with cuts 3 and 4 is a garden flower/butterfly theme, and I just love the greens she used, and would like to repeat them! Honestly, I hope I get to meet her in person at an upcoming Hook-In in PA or perhaps a class if she is still teaching! Thank you so much for these special and insightful videos!
Hi Catherine, Sorry for the delayed response. Mom asked me to send you this reply, "Go to my website Home page and then Articles. Click on Article 10 and there is an article about Geranium Oval in the McGown Newsletter. I give all of the formulas at the end. I used Cushing dyes and Dorr wools which can be ordered through Dorr Mills. The key to the deep colors is dyeing over colored wool. Contact me through my email: phannum2@comcast.net if you have any questions or by phone: 717-984-2736. I'd be glad to talk to you - we are almost neighbors!" Mom's website is www.peggyhannum.com. Hope this is helpful, Bob
I don't rug hook as yet. I knit, but my hands are getting a bit less fond of the movements. I'm not sure if rug hooking will be better or not, but regardless, I really enjoyed this video you made!
This is beautiful. I’m wondering if this can be done with 100% wool yarn? Also, I love the magnet holding your scissors. Did you make it or can I buy one somewhere?
I wished I could see what happens with the wool UNDER THE BURLAP. I want to see the loop, or fiber on the other side of the fabric, to see how it gets hooked, how this is done and the fiber doesn't come out just by itself. You need to be more clear and precise on how this is done. But you don't, as you don't show how it is mounted and one what, if you have a frame or something. to work :( it is very frustrating.

Beautiful work. I do prefer the more primitive rugs which are done with wider cuts for myself.

Could you do a video to explain what the red markings are on your pattern? Is that where you plan to do shading?
Where you buy this hook?
Just wondering; what kind of frame do you use? Is it a gripper frame? I'm a little skeptical of these and wonder if you have a problem with fraying.

What size needle and name where to purchase?
Hi Angela! Sorry for the delay - we've been away during the holidays. I'll talk to my mother today and get right back to you. Happy New Year!
So beautiful ❤

I want to meet her. She is an artisan!
