I am pleased to announce that we are hosting our first annual “A Day in the Country” BBQ and hook in. This free event is our way of thanking you for your continued support.

I’m very pleased to announce the arrival of the new “Studio Line” of silk sari ribbon and roving. As fiber artists we are always searching for new fibers to enhance our rug hooking projects.

New textures have arrived and all have been cut, washed, folded and ready to hook. We are proud to announce the launch of our new studio line of silk…
Table mats! What a wonderful way to display your hooked pieces. If you are looking for a reason to hook something small then this photo is sure to be an inspiration. Debbie Pirtovsek hooked our pattern “Tristan”, a design by Sarah Skrlj,…
