I latch hooked a tiger throw rug in the early 90s for my toddler son because his grandfather called him tiger. I didn’t attach the head to the body because it had to be stuffed and now I’m going to finish it because your video reminded me of a long ago project. My son is 32, lol.
Thank you for your very positive fiber arts video describing all the possibilities for latch hooking. I have latch hooked since I was a teenager. I am 70 yrs old. There are so many ways to latch hook & all you ever hear people say is that they remember the cute little kits they made when they were 10 years old. I cringe every time I hear that statement. I use a frame because I work on bigger rugs. Latch hooking is so peaceful & takes you out of your head. You can escape for a few hours at a time & have a beautiful creation when you are finished. Loved all the fibers you used. Thank you for making this video.
Thank you for showing me how you cut your yarn. I have so many skeins of cool yarn from a few years back just put away in a box. Different colors and textures. Recently I decided to do latch hooking again, not done since the late 70’s. Now I can use what I have & not have to buy precut yarn in materials I don’t really care for. Thank you! 🌸
I'm busy with my third pure wool latch hooked rug. The oldest is over 40 years old,and is still in perfect condition. I will only do such a big project in wool.
Just fell upon your wonderful vid, def subscribed. I always thought latch hooking rugs were only for kids, as I did one when I was about 10 yrs old. You've brought a different artistic perspective to this. Also, do you have a tutorial for the earrings?
Thanks Deana for the quick overview of latch hooking! A great short video giving over the basics. I am wondering if hooking T-Shirts onto a Latch hook backing could make a very quick and inexpensive rug?
That's a brilliant combo. The latch backing is more expensive that I thought, but still less than traditional rug hooking backings, and with the t-shirts, it would be a super great project that would come out just as beautiful as anything
Perfect! However it works it's great! sometimes it's better to just go for it without thinking about the way other people work and you create your own perfection!

Thanks Deana So grateful I came across this video while searching alternatives to chair seat. Latch hooking quick familiarity!!
I've been playing with using a latch hook to chain stitch on burlap, it works really well for that.
Such simple directions and very, very helpful!! Thanks so much!! ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Your hair is very pretty 😍 thank you for your tutorial.
Thank you so much for this video
I did one of those premade kits for a home ec class 23 years ago and still have the throw pillow I made.

How do you finish the back of the looped fabric on your latch hook grid ? I'd like to try sari ribbon to create a latch hook project.

I was thinking of using denim on latch backing for a rug. Then I can use all those jeans that don’t fit anymore! 😄
Thank you ever so much for the tutorial.
You are so welcome - I'm glad you enjoyed it! xx
Your watermelon pom pom earrings are gloriously fun
Love your earrings 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Could you do this with wool roving?
Do you no wear I can get a German latch. Hook.their smaller I lost mine so I can't finish
I wonder if that's like a Tondilo hook? My best guess would be ebay!
I accidentally did this very wrong but it seems to have worked...I did NOT cut my string into strips...I just worked from a ball of yarn o.O
Perfect! However it works it's great! sometimes it's better to just go for it without thinking about the way other people work and you create your own perfection!
Looks super painful procedure to me I'll swerve it....
