Welcome to Two Cats & Dog Hooking

Welcome to my website! I am Ellen Skea Marshall, a maker living and crafting in the western Mountains of Maine. My passion is the heritage craft of rug hooking. I bring a modern-day twist through my fun, colorful, whimsical and themed patterns, both in my finished hand-hooked rugs and in my designs on unbleached primitive linen.

Here you will find finished hand-hooked rugs, pillows, mats, chair pads, Christmas stockings, trivets and coasters as well as other hand-crafted items including felted pin cushions, and hand-hooked folk art. Also offered are my hand-dyed wools that I process in small batches, as well as original patterns and supplies including hooks, and on occasion used frames. I also offer pre-packaged kits that provide all you need to get started!

Please enjoy your time on my site and reach out anytime if I may be of assistance.

I hand dye all of my wool in small batches in my Maine home kitchen. Each color is unique to my process. All hand dyes are different for different makers. The pots used, the water, the dyes and combination of dyes make for unique colors for each individual hand dyer.

I take great care with all of my work and hope that you can see and feel my love, time, and creativity, as well as the generations of heritage behind every strip of wool and every loop I work by my hand.
