It is loosely woven and therefore the edges need to be finished or it will ravel away as you are hooking on it. So for those of you who don't sew, or don't have time to finish the edges, there is an option to purchase the linen with the raw edges serged. (see photo with red serged edge). If you order serged edges, only the raw edges will be serged. On the one yard piece, that means the two long edges will be serged. If you order a half yard, three sides will be serged.
Use the drop down box to see other sizes and options.
It is a light cream color with a white thread running the length of the weave 2" apart. This is helpful in drawing designs on the straight of grain.
Cotton monks cloth is strong and durable and is a great foundation for your hooked rugs. It works for hooking with all cuts of wool, from fine to primitive cuts. It can also be used for Punch needle projects that are punched with yarn. It is not recommended for embroidery punch needle as the weave is too open.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    If you are looking for a specific color or texture, I will be happy to check my inventory. If you are able to send a photo, that is a great help to me in understanding what you are looking for.

    Special Orders are non returnable. Wool Kits and Wool Packs that have been cut in strips for rug hooking are not refundable.

    Designs and patterns that have been customized and/or personalized cannot be returned.

    Which Backing Fabric should I choose?

    Cotton Monks Cloth is 100% cotton woven with two warp threads and two weft threads has 12 x 13 holes per inch. It is great for hooking with all cuts of wool, from fine to primitive cuts. It is less expensive than primitive linen.

    Primitive linen is 100% linen, the most durable backing fabric. It is more expensive than other backing fabrics. The evenly spaced weave of 12 x 12 threads per inch makes it great for all primitive cuts, #7 and wider.
    Beginners usually have an easier time hooking with linen.

    Both are fine and long lasting choices for the backing to support and make your hooked rug durable. I use both types, but usually choose linen for larger projects.

    Do you refund shipping overage charges?

    Yes, if the difference is $3.00 or more. Etsy calculations, especially on orders with multiple items, can add up to more than the actual shipping. I will let you know when your order is ready to ship if you will be receiving a shipping refund.
