Janice asked me on Facebook about selling 1/2 yard pieces of wool. I’ve decided to give it a try.
UPDATE: Feb 2014. I installed a new shopping cart. Every wool I offer is available in a full yard, half yard and even a 1/16 yard prewashed, ready to hook strip.
Looking for hand dyed wool? I will custom dye wool for you, just contact me using my contact page or give me a call.
Need enough for a whole rug? I offer color planning service just like the type you would get for a workshop. Be sure to check with me for availability. It may take a while if I have other commitments but this is an inexpensive way to get the workshop experience without the time and money involved in travel.
If you use Facebook be sure to “Like” my page. You will automatically see any coupon codes I will be offering. I am still working on the programming for that feature, but hope to offer coupons this winter.

Ordered a kit online but the wood sent was not the same colors. I want to dye my own but don’t know what primary colors or additional colors I need to get started. Can you tell me how to figure the amount of wool I will need. Is it based on so much wool per square inch? I live in Prescott, AZ and can’t find any one that is hooking and I love doing it. Thank you and I am learning so much from your site. Thank you
You will need generally 4x the wool to cover an area. A 3″ x 36″ strip will hook approximately 3″ x 6″-7″ (depending on how much it shrank during washing. My dye book will tell you all you need to get started with dyeing using PRO Chem dyes. You’ll need these colors:
These are the same main colors that the majority of older rug hooking magazine dye articles use.
