I took a class on rug hooking a while back,using a punch needle ad wool yarn. I bought the needle. At the end of class I bought all the yarn I would need for my project. A few months later I went back to the project and had a heck of a time finishing it. Backing was monks cloth and it was on a frame. I checked the wool yarn and it wasn't all wool, 85% wool. Now I amleft with all this yarn. Teacher is no longer around. Can I use this yarn for rug hooking and buy a regular rug hooking needle? Also what wouldbe the best needle to buy? I don't want to buy an expensive one since this is new to me. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you search online for rug hooking videos and information?
It's been so many years since i'v done this i have no more memory of it all!

I use to do rug hooking years ago. You need a rug hooking tool, not a needle. Doubt I could describe it.

I did rug hooking in the 70's. Sorry don't remember much other than the marked grid and hooking tool, never used a frame except for the wallhangings. Most ended up as rugs, way too addictive at the time.
