We are excited to offer\u00a0Sue Watson’s 2-day locker-hooking class, which will take place at the Museum on Sat-Sun January 23-24, from 10-4 each day. We are determined to keep this very affordable! Materials and tools for a pillow-sized project will cost about $35; the additional participant registration fee to cover Sue’s time and travel will depend on the number who are coming — reg could be as accessible as $20-35 per person if we get enough folks confirmed. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING, please let us know as soon as possible by calling 581-4100.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Locker Hooking is\u00a0 similiar to many crafts like crocheting, latch hook, needlepoint, and rug punch, but it’s really unlike anything else.\u00a0 Like Latch Hook it uses a canvas backing.\u00a0 Similair to Rug Punch, strips of wool, fabric, or yarn are pulled through a backing to the front.\u00a0 Like Crocheting it uses a hook that one one end looks like a crochet hook.\u00a0 And like in needlepoint the texture in locker hooking is determined by the length of the loops and the direction of the stiches.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 However, locker hooking is its own unique craft.\u00a0 It is a fast, easy, and inexpensive way to create rugs, clothing, pillows, chair pads, saddle bags, wall hangings.. and the list goes it.\u00a0 What you can make is limited only by your imagination!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It uses a tool called a locker hook<\/a><\/u>.\u00a0 On one end only it resembles a crochet hook.\u00a0 The other end has a large eyelet for threading yarn.\u00a0 Using the locker hook you pull loops of unspun wool through a strong canvas and then locked into place with the hidden “locker” yarn.\u00a0 Thus, you create the feel and appearance of textured weaving.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Locker hooking projects are thick and durable.\u00a0 They wash easily and can be worn, walked on, and used for years without showing signs of wear!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Once this simple technique is learned, locker hooking becomes a ideal outlet for creativity.\u00a0 You can change the texture of your project simply by raising the height of the loops or changing direction within a piece.\u00a0 Color can be used to highlight the drama of any design.\u00a0\u00a0 It can also be combined with other crafts, such as weaving, knitting, embroidery, etc. to create a completely different effect.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

For those that raise sheep or spin — This is an excellent way to use up extra roving!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Inexpensive, easily learned, versatile, and a door into lavish creativity.\u00a0 The finished project is rich and unique, with texture and long lasting\u00a0durability<\/span>!\u00a0\u00a0 What more could you ask in a craft?*<\/span><\/strong>Livingstone’s Locker Hooking Supplies<\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
