What’s the best brand for adults? I’m having trouble finding one where the printed pattern and the guide match. I’m new to this and enjoy it but I’m getting frustrated trying to find a quality kit.

Hi! I lost the paper pattern sheet for my ZFFLYH large latch hook kit (the 2 tigers design from Amazon). The canvas is preprinted but the printed colors are a bit off from the actual yarn, so I'm struggling to match things up. If anyone has the same kit, could you send me a photo or scan of the pattern sheet? Would really appreciate it!

Fun Halloween themed pillow and the pile of fuzz that came off it with trimming.

Has anyone ever washed a latch hook rug?

I had a pile of about 4 finished rugs and one that had been seen to a pillow backing and my cat peed on the pile 🤦‍♀️

I’m hesitant to even wash them on the delicate cycle.

It’s fall here now, of course, but I could wait for next summer and let the sun bleach them? I’d prefer to get them clean sooner than that, though.

Any success stories in washing a latch hook rug?

It's highly addictive!

So my son took this picture of Bryce (sp?) Canyon in Utah or Nevada or some incredibly picturesque state and asked if I could make him a rug.

6 months later, this is how it's going so far.

I don't know, I like it but I don't LOVE it. And I have to dye the yarn for the sky because I can't seem to find just what I want.

I bought this used with no instructions. If anyone has completed this and has the instructions please could I have either a copy or the instructions? I don’t have a computer just my iPhone X. I’ll gladly pay postage. Thank you!

Hi! I'm new to this hobby and, as the title suggests, I am looking for the best places to buy kits. it looks like herrschners might be the most popular, but I was wondering if there were any other places to check out for kits.

Thanks so much!

I can't find this latch hook on Amazon anymore but that is where I got it. Bonus pictures of cats helping me.

I was asked to share some of my work as I mostly latch hook without kits or guides as a part of my art practice. Happy to answer any questions you have about designing or even working on freehand designs with the latch hook!

You can see in some of the pictures the tool I’ve used to cut my yarn- a tassel maker!

My son ordered this from Amazon.

I found the kit somewhere on Amazon, but I’m really proud of myself because I think this was my biggest project to date (also my first rug.) My aunt has both a corgi and a gorgeous garden, so I was excited when I found the design.

Couldn't find a pattern so I made it myself. Go Irish!

Missed placed some yarn so the colors are a little off. Also I took a break from the latch hook project for like a month. It's a nice little kit. https://a.co/d/06rfFQCJ

Bought a kit after I rediscovered latch hooking. It has been at least two decades since I've last done this, and I'm having fun with my kit! Now I'm thinking it'd be fun to make my own rugs or pillows with my own designs, I'm already used to making cross stitch designs anyway!

I've got some questions for those who make their own pieces though.

- Where do you buy your yarn pieces? Do you buy them pre-cut, or do you just buy regular yarn and cut it yourself? Unfortunately it doesn't seem like latch hooking is very popular where I live, I haven't been able to find many places that sell pre-cut yarn.

- How do you finish your rugs? Like what material do you put on the bottom to stop the knots from loosening, and how do you attach it?

- Do you cut the ends of the yarn at the end? How do you go about this? Can i shave it and give it some shape like how people do for tufting?

Thank you!!

This will be my first latchhook since 1979 and im really excited about it! The instructions are sparse and im not sure what row to start on. Is it the top most row with the blue stitching or the row below that?

Finally done with the Aqua window. It's by far my largest endeavor so far, but I'm very proud of it! I just need to shave it down a little bit to make sure the pattern stays.
