I have started working on locker hooked rugs..I am having so much fun with it all . I have decided to use fleece for the first several that i make. Fleece is as close to wool as i can get for durability . It makes a nice sturdy loop. I am finding that patterns on the fleece add a nice bit of color to the rug. Sweat shirt fabric would be another that would hold up well .
Finding the rug canvas is bit tricky. It can be expensive if purchased at a craft store. I am watching Ebay for vintage rug hooking canvas ..it is bit more affordable that way. The rugs are time comsuming but not too expensive in cost since i am using leftover fabric pieces from other projects.
I have so many ideas for the rugs using designs ...you are basically painting with the fabric pieces :)
