"I love primitive and wide cut!" notes Pat. So this past January, she travelled to Kennebunk Maine, to take a class at Camp Wool, a retail store run by LeAnn Hodgson that offers classes all year round with a variety of teachers for all skill levels.
Pat signed up for a class with Betsy Reed. Betsy has been actively hooking for over 15 years and loves hooking wide cuts and hand torn strips. She has created a collection of wonderful patterns and has an extensive stash of textured wool.
Pat absolutely loved the class noting, "not only is it wide cut but also torn strips of wool which can be from 3/4'' to over 1'' wide. You need a wide shank hook so you will not hurt your wrist." Pat's rug "Matilda" is wonderfully textured and it hooked up quickly.
If you are interested in Camp Wool please check out their website for more information and upcoming classes. And note, Betsey Reed is returning to Camp Wool in September for another 3 day class "Having Fun with Primitives".
Thanks Pat for sharing your adventure and rug with us.
