The craft of latch hooking is a simple weaving technique that involves using a special tool, called a latch hook, to knot short strands of yarn through a grid-like fabric base.

Here’s how it works:

– Get a latch hook kit:

These kits include the latch hook tool and a fabric canvas.

The canvas has intersecting strings and serves as the base for attaching yarn.

– Choose yarn:

Stock up on yarn in striking colours.

Precut rug yarn (50mm to 75mm long) works well.

Alternatively, cut your own yarn to the desired length (at least 50mm long) for secure attachment.

– Prepare the canvas:

Lay out the canvas grid on a flat surface.

– Thread the latch hook:

Wrap a strand of yarn around the latch hook’s shaft.

Adjust it so it rests in the shallow crook just above the handle.

Pull the ends taut around the latch hook.

– Weave the yarn:

Thread the hooked end under one section of the canvas, then pull the latch hook back out the same way you put it in.

The shifting latch catches the yarn, anchoring it to the canvas.
