The Latch Hook Page

The LATCH HOOK Page of how to and original rugs and tapestries It is amazing at the hundreds of emails I have received over the years since the beginning of The Latchhook Page back in 1997. It is good too see so many who are working or beginning in this artistic method. I am an amateur and maybe do not follow the more professional methods. I have found it more fun to experiment and design my own patterns and find different materials to use for the canvas base. "Canvas"? I have wondered why the mesh used in latchhooking was called that. Ha. It is far from what I think of as canvas. Maybe it it is thought of as a painters canvas. that would make sense as it is the base on which is built artistic pictures and designs. I use my very small latch hook and use burlap as the canvas. the larger latchhooks don't work as well with burlap. But it does make a nice base material, you just have to watch it bunching and pulling off of the rectangle or square form. I never use a frame but work with the material in my lap. I guess I am just trying to say, experiment with different materials for the base material and different sizes and types of yarns. Makes it more original and fun I think. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE GREAT FUN CREATING YOUR RUGS AND WALL HANGING TAPESTRIES. Paul :-)
