It was the fall of 2013. Some of you may not have even owned your business in the yarn industry yet, while others of you had been at it for well over 20 years. Some of you had not yet become parents; others were close to becoming empty nesters. A lot can change in five years, but of course, a lot can stay the same. Five years ago, Yarn Market News made a change. Because of dwindling advertising dollars, we announced that we would be publishing three issues a year instead of five. And this issue marks our first all-digital issue, born out of both a desire to go green and to help the magazine’s struggling bottom line.

  • How to Make Métis Hooked Rugs

    How to Make Métis Hooked Rugs

    How to Make Métis Hooked Rugs There are six steps in making a hooked rug. These are: 1) Preparing Materials 2) Building a Frame 3) Preparing a Work Surface 4) Cutting and Tracing the Pattern 5) Hooking the Rug 6) Putting on the Backing and Finishing Touches 1) Preparing Materials • Use two-by-two inch pieces of wood for the frame • Make the frame slightly bigger than the rug • Use nails to attach the frame • Use burlap or jute for the frame’s backing • Use corduroy or denim to reinforce the frame’s border • Use quilting or upholstery thread to stitch the border • Use sealed wax to bind the border to the burlap/jute backing • Use wool or string to lace the burlap border to the frame • Use various big-eyed needles and a thimble for the lacing process • Use paper to make the pattern • Use paper scissors to cut out the pattern • Use small or large straight pins to pin down the pattern • Use sharp scissors to cut all fabric • Use a rug-hooking tool to begin the rug-hooking process • Rug-hooking tools can be found at craft or carpet stores, or can be made from a cork and a nail • Use various colours of cotton t-shirts for materials • Cut the seams out of the t-shirts, and then cut the material into thumb width strips • The strips can be rolled into balls for easy storage 2) Building a Frame • Make an adjustable frame by drilling holes in the wood • Use a nut and a bolt to adjust the frame’s size • If the frame is to be used only once, nail it together 3) Preparing a Work Surface • Choose either burlap or jute (which is finer grained) • Then

    Vogue Knitting LIVE Launches in New York City in January

    NEW YORK, NEW YORK 6,000 Knitters and Industry “Knitterati” to Gather for New Event Vogue Knitting LIVE Launches in New York City in January. Popular Classes Already Sold Out More than 53 million people know how to knit or crochet—and the number is growing. Following the successful premier of Vogue Knitting LIVE in Los Angeles last year, Vogue Knitting magazine announces a new event at the Hilton New York January 14–16, 2012 . Knitting, an ages-old craft, is taking the world by storm. Professionals, Hollywood A-listers, and rock stars have all joined the ranks of knitters, and Ravelry, a popular social media site for stitchers, boasts close to 2 million members. Its benefits are renown: A Harvard study from 2007 concluded that knitting may be as effective as medication in reducing stress. “We know that knitters love getting together at yarn stores to learn new techniques, compare projects, and hear from top designers. We’ve simply taken that to the next level by creating the largest live gathering of knitters in New York,” says Trisha Malcolm, editor of Vogue Knitting and originator of Vogue Knitting LIVE. Vogue Knitting LIVE caters to knitters at all levels—from the knit-curious to experienced designers and crafters. In 2012, knitters can expect: • More than 75 how-to sessions, some of which are already sold out. Topics like “An Overture to Estonian Lace” and “Working with Antique and Vintage Knitting Patterns” bring 200-year old techniques to new generations. Other sessions such as “Happy Hat Knitting” and “Sock Innovation” focus on specific types of projects.
  • We Are the Rug Hooking Capital of the World”: Understanding Chéticamp Rugs (1927-2017)

    We Are the Rug Hooking Capital of the World”: Understanding Chéticamp Rugs (1927-2017)

    “We are the Rug Hooking Capital of the World”: Understanding Chéticamp Rugs (1927-2017) by © Laura Marie Andrea Sanchini A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfilment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Folklore Memorial University December 3rd, 2018 St John’s Newfoundland Abstract This thesis is the story of how utilitarian material culture was transformed into a cottage industry, and eventually into high art. Chéticamp rug hooking is an artistic practice, one wrapped up in issues of taste, creativity, class and economics. Rug hooking in Chéticamp rose to prominence in the first half of the 20th century when Lillian Burke, a visiting American artist, set up a rug hooking cottage industry in the area. She altered the tradition to suit the tastes of wealthy patrons, who began buying the rugs to outfit their homes. This thesis examines design in rug hooking focusing on Chéticamp-style rugs. Captured within design aesthetics is what the rugs mean to both those who make and consume them. For tourists, the rugs are symbols of a perceived anti-modernism. Through the purchase of a hooked rug, they are able to bring home material reminders of their moment of experience with rural Nova Scotia. For rug hookers, rugs are a symbol of economic need, but also agency and the ability to overcome depressed rural economic conditions. Rug hooking was a way to have a reliable income in an area where much of the labour is dependent on unstable sources, such as natural resources (fishing, lumber, agriculture etc.).
