Join us for a Hook-In
Our Hook-Ins serve as a welcoming gathering place for rug hookers of all skill levels to connect, learn, and create. It’s a friendly and inspiring environment where like-minded individuals come together, each contributing their unique talents, stories, and ideas.
At every Hook-In, we set up a pop-up store stocked with all the essentials a rug hooker could need or want. You’ll find high-quality wool fabrics, vibrant and textured yarns, fabric cutters, unique patterns, and specialized tools—all in one convenient location, making it a one-stop haven for rug hooking enthusiasts.
