ALL OUR WOOL IS PERFECT FOR PRIMITIVE AND TRADITIONAL WOOL CRAFTS OF ALL KINDS. This wool can be used for penny rugs, traditional primitive rug hooking, wool quilts, sewing and many other crafts that need or use wool.

Rug hooking wool, penny rug wool and craft wool with lanolin re-infused into it resists dust and dirt better. It is also more water and stain repellent than non treated wool. The wool is softer and less harsh on your hands and helps protect your hands from drying and chapping as you use it.

WILL YOU CUT THE WOOL FOR ME FOR RUG HOOKING?
If you need wool stripped, I would be willing to strip these bundles for you for FREE - just let me know what size you want.
If you are worried about wear on your blades or don't have a cutter for rug hooking, let us cut the wool for you. We use a Rigby and a Fraser to cut our wool.
We have blade sizes #3 through #10. Blade numbers and strip widths are as follows:
# 3 = 3/32” wide strip
# 4 = 1/8” wide strip
# 5 = 5/32” wide strip
# 6 = 6/32” wide strip
# 7 = 7/32” wide strip
# 8 = ¼” wide strip
# 8.5 = 5/16” wide strip
# 9 = 3/8” wide strip
#10 = ½” wide strip
Strip sizes #3-#4 are considered as fine or traditional hooking size - you get very fine detailing with these size strips.
#5-#7 are midway sizes and allow some detailing
#8-#8.5 are considered traditional primitive hooking widths
#9-#10 are considered wide hooking
Each cut has it's own nuances and pros and cons - it is perfectly acceptable to use all sizes of cuts in one rug or art piece. We will be happy to strip bundles in one size or a variety of sizes for each bundle for you for FREE. Just let us know in checkout messages or paypal notes and we will do all the cutting for you.

WHY USE LANOLIN and WHAT IS LANOLIN WOOL?
All wool has been soaked in pure hospital grade lanolin as the final soak. This makes the wool soft and conditions the wool to make it hook better and feel better in your hands.
We use a lanolin wool wash called Kookaburra. It re-infuses the wool with all it's wonderful goodness. Kookaburra is also offered in our store so you can treat all your wool and make it even more wonderful!
When you dye wool, the lanolin is melted out of it. After we dye our wool, we soak it in the Kookaburra, which puts the lanolin back in the wool.
Wool with lanolin, resists dirt, debris, stains, dust and water. By soaking our wool, it makes for a much better final product for you.
Once you use our wool, we are sure you will feel, smell and see the difference. Wool is marvelous and wonderful and a lot of it's greatness is for it's lanolin properties.
