Location: Fleecewood farm, Hiwipango Road, Wai-iti Valley, Wakefield (Tasman near Nelson).

Cost: $400 plus wool (see below).

Learn how to make an heirloom hooked fleece rug, with both tufted and loop pile textures.

We will use rug canvas, fleece locks and wool sliver to create tufted and looped pile textures, that you can incorporate into your own unique rug design. Don’t worry if design is not your thing – ideas for designs will be available, but if you are feeling creative go for it!

The workshop is for beginners and those wanting to refresh rug hooking skills.

You will go home with a chair mat or if you haven’t quite finished it, the materials and equipment needed to finish it. Supplies needed for further projects are available for purchase at the end of the workshop.

There is a choice of two material fees depending on whether you want to use natural or dyed colours.

Materials fees paid on day:
Natural Colours - $70.00
Dyed Colours - $80.00
The materials fee includes the equipment needed, and which students get to take home (latch hook, crochet hook, and doll needle).
