Launched on the nautical theme, ENCOMPASSING DESIGNS RUG HOOKING STUDIO took float in 2000 with the classic marine inspired designs of the Compass Rose. This essential and decorated practical aid to navigation that has adorned nautical charts, dating back to at least Magellan’s time, encompassed the era of the New World’s exploration and conquest by many European sea-power nations.
 
Although CHRISTINE LITTLE’S studio now encompasses all genres of design, she remains committed to the icons of seafaring times.  From sailing ship, anchor and line to the mystical sea serpents and mermaids, they live on in our imagination and in the vibrant colours and crafted wool of the studio. These designs and hand-hooked heirlooms command attention providing eye catching accents at home, ashore or fittingly, afloat adorning a vessel’s cabin.

​To continue the voyage, set sail for our home port at 498 Main Street, Mahone Bay, in the centre of our quaint sea-side village.
