Best Beige Background
$39.00
I always resorted to dark backgrounds for primitive rugs because light
backgrounds lacked character or were impossible to find. Since I
discovered "Best Beige Background" I can hook with everything.
Even those beautiful dark textures show up nicely against a light
background. Click here for a
sampling of rugs using this background.
I treat "BBB" like a sourdough starter. When I am ready to
hook another rug with this background, I simply add in whatever I had
left over from the last rug. Nothing goes to waste. This wool
is unprocessed. A recipe with complete instructions will be
provided with each bundle. All you need is dish soap and
vinegar. Six (6) pieces of different wools,
each 1/4 yard, make up each 1-1/2 yard bundle. The wools included
vary based on availability. Your cut strips will be 36" long
speeding up the tedious process of hooking backgrounds. |

Antique Background $48.00 Want to avoid the fuss and muss
of dyeing antique "black?" I have it all dyed, bundled and ready
to go. Each bundle is the equivalent of 1 yard of fabric as
determined by weight (12 oz.). Some bundles are very dark,
almost black others are brown, blue, green, red or mixed with all of
them. If you have a preference, please state it and I will send
the bundle that most closely matches. All are beautiful and
several will coordinate together for a dynamic background on a large
rug. This is the background I used on the
Square
Pocketful Footstool. |

Sky dip dye wool $7.00 per piece
This wool is dyed using the method described in Pictorial Basics:
Pine Trees, Grass and Sky sold below. Order the number of
pieces you will need to cover your sky. Each piece is 1/8 yard.
Each piece will cover an area approximately 6" x 7" if you need
coverage at 4x. Hook your sky using the method described in the
book. |

The
"IN" Colors
$6.00Every
year I develop new dye formulas based on the new "in" fashion colors.
Sometimes a color lingers for a year or more, some years bring in a
whole new color pallet. Actual wool samples are stapled
to 2 1/2" x 3" card with the recipe printed on the reverse side. The formulas are for 1/2
yard of Dorr natural and use PRO Chem dyes. Most formulas just
the primary 5: 338,233,119, 490 and 672.

2006 colors above, click for a larger version. The beiges and
browns are much warmer than they appear in this photo. The Pinky
red was used in
Square
Pocketful. |
