Irish Rug Hooks

Rug hooks ( or Hookies as the maker calls them ), are made in Ireland one hook at a time. Beautifully hand crafted out of Yew wood and brass. If you could hold one in your hand you would know how lovely they are.

 

These are truly a dream to work with. They immediately feel like they belong in your hand like no other hook you have held. The pear handle is just a wider shaped handle. The ergo handle has a slight indentation for your hand to rest on. The pencil hooks are longer and slimmer. The curved hooks are just that- curved hook with varying handles to suit your needs. The ball hooks are the original style hook with a larger, shorter handle to grip. Shafts are 1.5 - 2 inches in length.

 

My personal preferences are the pencil hook and the ball hook. This maker is a dear man and is now in business with his son. Once you try one you will never hook with another hook again . I have fallen in love with these beautiful hooks and I hope you will too. Formally known as Hartman Hooks, now known as The Irish Hook.

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.

 

"Wonderfully hand dyed colors. So pretty I almost don’t want to cut into them…but just sit and sigh at the softness of the wool and beautiful muted tones…. Fast Shipping and a very pleasant transaction!"
