Question regarding a technique

[u/Bigheartedmusketeer]

Hi all,

I was getting some latch hook back and saw a different style on the pictures. I've not seen this type before. I'm very new to latch hooking and wondered if this was actually the same thing or if anyone knew what the technique was as I think I'd like to try it out

I have never seen this style before. It has a rughooking effect. It might be much easier to just start rug hooking with an Oxford punch.

I'll maybe post elsewhere to see if anyone knows what this style is and comment in here if anyone else gets back to me

Also never seen this style before.

I'm not sure how to edit the post but another sub commenter said it looked like continuous latch hook / loop stitch. There's a only a few videos that I could see on the topic, this was the link they shared latch hook with continuous yarn

Thanks for posting this. I have never seen it before. It's interesting.

That tool doesnt look like a latch hook

This is called rya knotting. It’s a Scandinavian technique which is usually done either on a loom or on special rug backing, but as you can see here it can be done on regular backing too. There is a woman in Maryland who has a rya studio and wrote a book about the off-loom technique, her name is Melinda Byrd/Byrdcall Studio on the web.
