Introducing Rug Punch!

Punch needle rug hooking is a fast and easy way to make a beautiful hooked rug. Sometimes referred to “speed needle rug hooking”, it is the needle, manufactured by The Oxford Company, that allows you to punch wool rug yarn or wool fabric strips thru the base cloth to create your design. The size of the needle helps you create the perfect loop which makes the finished side even and smooth.

The Wild Hare Rug Studio will teach you how to create a finished project with just one class.

Posted on December 22, 2014

record-eagle-articleA few weeks ago Dan Nielsen from the Record Eagle stopped in the studio to find out what we do.  I enjoyed meeting with Dan and I thought he did a great job writing the story.  Hope you enjoy it too!

 

Michele Mueller is dyeing to please her customers. She dyes at least a couple of days a week.

But Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays she doesn’t dye. Instead, she teaches people how to create rugs that frequently end up hanging on the wall.
