This listing is for the rug hooking KIT "Tulip the Cat", 14" x 14". The rug in the photo is for display ONLY and is not for sale.
If you have learned how to hook or are planning on taking a workshop or class, this is a perfect beginner rug. It also is great for veteran rug hookers as it hooks up fast. It makes a great mat or wall hanging, but would be so cute as a pillow, too.
Included in kit are:
1) the pattern, hand drawn on your choice of cotton monks cloth or primitive linen and a 4" x 6" photo as a reference guide
2) the wool pack, choose to have it uncut or cut it in a #8 (1/4" wide strips).
This kit does NOT include instructions on how to hook. It does NOT include a hook or finishing tape or yarn. The amount of wool in the wool pack is based on how much I used to hook the design plus additional. There is more than enough wool in this kit to finish the pattern. However, if you hook higher or tighter or in a different cut than I did, you may need more wool and are welcome to purchase more.
The design is hand drawn on the backing fabric with permanent marker, leaving 4" inch borders on all sides. The raw edges of the pattern have been serged to prevent raveling. Monks cloth is good for all cuts from narrow to primitive #8 or #8.5 cuts. Primitive linen is great for all primitive and wide cut hooking including torn strips.
This mat was so much fun to hook. Cats are so much fun and Tulip is no exception. I hooked her using a gray blue tiny texture with a mix of a gray stripe and oyster white accents. She is sitting next to her favorite flowers which were hooked with a rosey orange plaid. The tulip leaves are a hand dyed green mix with veins hooked with the flower wool. The mix of background colors from light green ground to light blue sky make an interesting mix.
You can purchase just the PATTERN, see listing P105:

Special Orders are non returnable. Wool Kits and Wool Packs that have been cut in strips for rug hooking are not refundable.
Designs and patterns that have been customized and/or personalized cannot be returned.
Cotton Monks Cloth is 100% cotton woven with two warp threads and two weft threads has 12 x 13 holes per inch. It is great for hooking with all cuts of wool, from fine to primitive cuts. It is less expensive than primitive linen.
Primitive linen is 100% linen, the most durable backing fabric. It is more expensive than other backing fabrics. The evenly spaced weave of 12 x 12 threads per inch makes it great for all primitive cuts, #7 and wider.
Beginners usually have an easier time hooking with linen.
Both are fine and long lasting choices for the backing to support and make your hooked rug durable. I use both types, but usually choose linen for larger projects.
Yes, if the difference is $3.00 or more. Etsy calculations, especially on orders with multiple items, can add up to more than the actual shipping. I will let you know when your order is ready to ship if you will be receiving a shipping refund.
