Thank you! You have a very personable style and I enjoyed listening to you and also loved hearing your thoughts on all of the different fibers! This is inspirational and helps me to feel more confident in trying to use a variety of material. Funny thing- I have been trying to find information about hooking with roving and there it was! I have also been collecting all sorts of thrift store wool and yarn in preparation for the long 2020 winter ahead. I hope to make a rug or two from the 14 mostly long wool fleeces that I still have after fiber stores have closed and wool shows have been canceled. I don't spin (yet), so freshly combed roving may be my medium for now. I have been practicing hooking with intriguing results, and have also used the locks (curls) with the wool attached. I pull the wool out like you would if you were spinning for a thinner strip and leave any curly locks that come through to be a part of the section. The locks seem to hold the vibrant colors. I have been dying some sections of my fleeces with natural dyes and a some acid dyes for a few brighter colors. Thanks again!
It sounds like you are having a party over there! It is really fun working with different fibres. In our Facebook group we've been doing a lot with cutting up sweaters lately. That has been a lot of fun because they hook so fat and full every time period I love my yarn all the different projects fearing you can't make wrong choices when your playing around with hooking! Keep me posted on your adventures!
I just love watching your videos so much. I truly feel like I'm sitting down with a great friend. Thank you for sharing your love of hooking and punching.
I recently stumbled upon your RUclips channel. Thank you for being kind, approachable, encouraging and sharing info on hooking many kinds of fabrics and yarns.
That type of roving is called pencil roving because of its thinnest. I love your videos, appreciate your knowledge and how easily you share it. Thanks so much
Here's what I wrote when I just shared your fabulous video on my FB page...
"Everything I ever thought, experienced and learned about hooking with wool yarn is in this video! Bravo! Very informative! Love, love, love! ❤☺👍 #hooked #rughooking #wool #yarn"
Love love love back to you and everything you post!
SUPER HELPFUL discussion/demo! There's something about the way you hook with the yarn while discussing it that makes it feel COZY. Like I'm right there... Sari silk/yarn is a fave for me. THANX SO MUCH, Deana!!! x
I love your videos, Hooking Newbie here. Knitter of 50 + years with a stash to match. Immeasurably relieved to learn that I can use stash yarn for Hooking! My Husband is over the moon 😀
keep the videos coming. i am new to fiber arts and all of them appeal to me. I love your insights.
Your enthusiasm is contagious and the sharing of your knowledge is greatly appreciated!
I found you can still use the curls! Hook with wool yarn or cloth as usual, and then gently and loosely hook into your work.
You are an exceptional teacher. I have not rug hooked yet but you have me very interested.
Thank you so much. I am a knitter kerning to hook and so excited that I can use some if my COPIOUS stash.
Great video, very informative - thank you!
Thank you for taking your time to show us beginners how to do things correctly. I find you extremely funny love you wet sarcasm and down to earth Ness is appreciated thank you again for all your time and effort love your channel
I’ve just taken up this hobby and have viewed a lot of videos. I like your videos the best. Thank you 🤗
Thanks so much , you’re really informative! I’d love to see a video on all the different types of frames.Pros and cons. I know that would be near impossible, but it would be nice!
I find your videos and your technique really freeing. I’m inspired to try other yarns and wools.
Love what you are doing please keep up the interesting work. Be safe love from Canada...
Very informative. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Learned a lot. You answered so many questions for me. Huge thank you. Have hooked for years with traditions wool strips. Now I will add some yarn to my projects. Huge thank you.
Mmmm u have given me sooooo many options, my stash is tapestry wool, wool blankets, felted wool. I am a learner and u have put me on such a high lol. A new fantastic craft soooo yum. All ready 4 my Winter days here in New Zealand. I can't wait 2 start. Cheers.
You are a superb teacher! THANKS!
Thank you for this! Very well done and watchable, like a friend just sharing her craft with another friend.
Love your caring nature - and wisdom. Just started today with my hooking my rug and did not know why when I pulled through another wool piece, my last one - or one before came out??? Help! I already know I will love this - looking for something really relaxing and also bring meaning and creativity - and a rug for my family in our new home.
Awesome information!!!❤
You are a wealth of information. I am new to this and have lots of questions. Thank-you so much. I would love to see more videos geared toward beginners. Again, thanks!!!
All I use is wool/yarn of every quality, works great, only because in Ireland there is not one rug hooking store here. I also use roving for novelty bits, plus velour velvet strips work good, also ribbon works well. Great video . Thank you..
I would love to test rug hooking. This is very new thing in Finland that we don't have word for rug hook.
Where can I get the quilting hoop and the flat hook. It might help me better. I really like your tutorial. Also your advice on not listening to every type of advice when hooking is good.
Lol, sweat vs bug! I’m loving you!
Haha! I have trouble self editing!
I love using Sari Silk, I cut in in half to make it go further, not used the Sari yarn yet. Roving is great for clouds/smoke coming out of chimneys. The Locks could be pulled through, leaving two the ends falling loose on top, to create Santa beard 😉 I personaly like to see texture/3D effect, in my wall hanging rugs, so I don't block them.
Sounds beautiful. Today I was thinking about the flat silk embroidery ribbon that used to be sold on little cards... I'm wondering if thats still a thing because that was similar, thinner, but also beautful.
just started watching and I paused to say your glasses are fabulous. Did you decorate them? They look so chic and fun!
Very helpful video. Thank you!
Thank you
Very informative
Thank you for the overview of working with different Yarns and explaining how they do or don't work. I'm a spinner and a weaver, I also have an interest in making progged rugs which is fun. I'd like to mention that banana fibre is quite good to hook with even though it's a bit stiffer than other yarns, it holds itself well in the cloth and also in hessian (I think you'd call it burlap), the other one for a specially use is spun paper, it comes up very firm and needs other treatment done on the finished item. It's very stiff and hard a bit like seagrass matting, but very interesting to use. Anyway, once again thank you for sharing your wisdom. Cheers from Australia!
God, that is so interesting! Banana fiber huh! I'll have to go down that rabbit hole - what a neat tip! I'm doing more and more with different forms of rug making - proddy being one of them. I love your comment because it gets me excited about non-traditional fibers I haven't thought of yet. Thank you! xx
@@RibbonCandyHooking oh wow thank you for a reply! Yes I tried knitting with banana fibre but it's pretty awful unless you were making dish washing cloths, then I tried it in my proggy rug just to see how it went like you did in your video with the Yarns you had. It's still pretty harsh but it does soften over time, so I made a welcome mat with it, and it wore pretty well and kept its colours, the stuff I had was variegated so it had some interest to it. I think I've still got a ball of it I'll gift it to you if you'd like me to send it to you so that you can try it before you go and get some from the shop. Cheers!
I've woven with banana fiber (kitchen towels) and was really disappointed in it. For an item that gets washed, it really fades. Not at all colorfast. For a rug, though, probably not a problem.
Thankyou for a very interesting and informative video. Best wishes from Newcastle upon Tyne England.( about 100 miles from Wensleydale! 😄
Thank you for letting me know that I can use yarn that I don't have to cut strips
Super helpful! I'm learning to hook so I'm practicing with yarn.
Yarn is just the best to start with
One more thought...I haven't tried this yet but I was talking to another rug hooked and she said she puts Press and Seal handiwrap on the back of her rug so the little tines on her strips don't tear out her loops!😉
@@barbarabell1171 Yes I've heard that too - worth a shot right!
Where can I get a flat hook like you use? Do you full the yarn before using it or just hook from the skein? Thank you for all the help and the wonderful videos. Thanks! Melanie
“Russian nesting doll of yarn,” , “not going to win a Dawinian award” , I hope you do some writing!
Why havent I seen your videos before? Just popped up on you tube. 1 comment, one Q: great tip re tapestry kits. Q- your glasses, what brand and style are they? I am shopping for new. Love them.
This was great! Thank you!
I like the Hartman fat brass hook
Fabulous! Thank you ,
At last out of the box hooking,
Have you tried hooking art yarn?
You are so helpful. Im new and use bulky wool yarn and it frays up on the bottom pulling through the linen. Can you advise? Thank you
Just found your videos - very informative!
Where can I find the basic HOOK you showed here …. the one that has flat sides? The Amazon linked hook doesn’t look the same as you show here - thanks!
Thank you so much 💓
Great video thanks !!
What keeps the yarn from coming out when finished & one day you have to wash it?
I see you hook with your left hand. I am right handed so I hook with my right hand. You are left handed, correct? I really like your videos. Thank you so much!
No, I'm a righty. I'm going to flip my videos before I post them bc that must be confusing! Glad you're enjoying the videos. A new one coming today!
Very helpful descriptions. How about boucle ?
Boucle is GREAT to hook - will snag if you're punching - but it's a pleasure to hook and hooks FAST!
Thanks for the great video! A few questions. What kind of hook is the larger one you are using? And on another note, I am a beginner at this and love using yarn, but am having a terrible time trying to figure out how to shade/blend different colors to create dimension and interest, like sky and water, trees, etc... Any possibility of a video about that? Thank you!!!
Yes I can do a video on shading... I'll put that in short term to do! The hook below is a Joan moshimer I sell and I use it for nearly everything....www.ribboncandyhooking.com/products/primitive-rug-hook
Do u have any ideas for one handed crafts
Punch and Russian Punch could work for sure. Send an email to me at ribboncandyhooking@gmail.com... we could chat more on that. Xx
Can you use all different types of yarn on the on rug let me know please
Yes all kinds. Wool yarns are the most durable for the floor. Anything works for the wall.
Thank you. Where can i buy the hooks?,on line?
We sell the hooks here: www.ribboncandyhooking.com/products/primitive-rug-hook
Have you ever mixed wool and yarn in the same project?
Yes often and it always works out great!
Hi can I ask you please I want to use my rugs on the floor and I’m wondering if copydex fabric glue is good enough to secure the back in place so the stitches don’t pull out
Or can you point me in the right direction to which glue to use
Thanks xx
The loops will never fall out. People use glues with high speed commercial tufting guns but if you're hooking or punching your loops will never fall out. I've never used glue on anything but tiny tiny necklaces bc they're so fiddle and small. I have a couple videos on finishing the edges. If I do smaller pieces will glue I'll tag you.
Где такой кручок приобрести.
I don't know who sells them where you live but in the meantime you can try a crochet hook: ruclips.net/video/gKPdS1-Lav0/видео.html
can you only use wool yarn or can you use cotton/polyester blends?
You can use pretty much any material you want, assuming you can hook with it and it doesn't fray coming through the backing. That is as long as you're not using it on the carpet. Because synthetics and fancy materials will wear down quickly. People go for well because so many people actually use their rugs on the floor. But if you are not then the sky is the limit
can you please answer? where can I purchase hooks like your yours?
Mine is a vintage hook, its not a fancy or expensive one but its not in stock anywhere because its older. Are you looking for a first hook, or you just like the flat design?
Here in Florida nobody knows what rug hooking is nobody
Pronounced correctly
I watched some of your other videos to learn details on materials and how to hook. It is HARD to find some of the materials to get started because searching "rug hook" gives you all kinds of results that don't apply to this type of rug making (and while I'm on that subject, can I just point out how far the definition of "handmade" has gotten out of whack?), and so many of the legit hooks were expensive. I saw a photo that had several different types of rug hooks, and it said $40. I thought, okay, that's a lot, but look what all you get. Wrong! It was like, pick ONE, and $40 was probably the cheapest. But I found out that I only THOUGHT that was expensive. People recommended names, and anything recommended was like $80 or $100 for 1 hook! I'm thinking, to justify that price, the rest of all hooks need to be really, really bad. The reviews on Amazon for the two hooks that were fairly priced (okay, the only legit hooks I saw) weren't very encouraging, so I decided to gamble with another weird idea. I was encouraged by your video on getting started and just using what you have. I also saw that many of the "pen style" hooks looked like crochet hooks. I wasn't sure what size, but I found an assortment of crochet hooks with handles for arthritic hands in different sizes to try. I managed to make a lot of progress with yarn and a crochet hook, but I decided to try out one of the "legit" albeit poorly rated hooks. I honestly can't tell if it's better or different in any way. I expected the knob to hurt my hand, but it wasn't that bad. So far, it doesn't hurt nearly as bad as holding my phone! 😁I'm trying to change how I hold the hook so it's not like a crochet hook, but I just thought I'd let you know how helpful your videos have been. Very low intimidation factor! You encouraged me to give it a shot, and I'm about halfway finished with my first rug, although I don't plan to use chenille yarn next time! 🙂 No telling how much I've eaten or inhaled. I started with the worst possible supplies, so I might be able to tell a difference as I get better supplies. The only direction from here is straight up!!
I completely agree! I'm telling you some of those hooks that cost a fortune they are super uncomfortable for me to use in my hand. The only thing a hook needs to be is comfortable in your hand and able to pull fabric up through the backing. It doesn't have to have brass or be waited or have any of the Bells and whistles. Sometimes those are fantastic hooks and they feel good in your hand and you love using them. But sometimes it's just money spent and you feel like crying yourself to sleep. I sell a hook at ribbon candy hooking that is 15 and it's a basic hook but it is great and it's a hook I've used always. It is so easy to get rooked with the hooks and everything else!
Also I think it's fantastic that used to crochet hook. Crochet hooks can work, they usually don't but when they do hang on to it and use it it's a stick with a crook at the end of it and if it works then it's perfect! I think it's great that you're using what you have on hand because that is the original thrifty way the craft got started and it's still the right way to approach it!xxx
You need air conditioning! I enjoy your videos. Thanksgiving you!
Why is it impossible to find a tutorial where the instructor doesn't speak to me as if i am a slow learner!
This tutorial is for beginners. I have a special needs child who is a slow learner and I speak to him in an entirely different manner. There are dozens of advanced videos on this channel that move a lot faster.
@@RibbonCandyHooking ok and thank you for answering. I will try to find a video that suits me better. All the best.
