We can't keep this wool on the shelf.  Another stunner for backgrounds. This piece of wool is perfect for backing up a center motif of fruit and florals.  Hooking with this wool gives your background a striping of colour instead of using a solid that would show stains or dirt over time.  Will also provide more excitement than a solid colour would.  This will hook with an aged appearance, perfect for dating your rug's look to an earlier time.  Similar to parchment colours.

Bracken

Picture

A fabulous background for any rug.  Shades of beige and green on a base of cream accentuate the foliage on floral motifs and make them pop.   Very classy and traditional.

Abrashed Green

Picture
This is a popular background for a number of our rugs.  Customers love the pale green tones behind their florals. 


Lime Abrash

Picture












Yowza! Lime Ricky soda pop move over as this cool treat takes over the background of a happy rug.  A great background for whimsical florals, fun themed rugs.  if you like bright colours this will definitely work into your hooking nicely.   Don't forget spring leaves and grasses! 

Limey Blue

Picture












Once again this wool would make for fabulous backgrounds.  A hit of blue  intertwined with the green for an planetary feel. 

Lime/Sapphire

Picture
A solt palette background for any summer rug.  Children's rugs. Use for a sky for  a bit more colour. 


Turquoise Sky

Picture
Not all skies need be blue.  Add a bit of fun and whimsy for a tropical day in paradise.  Great for backgrounds or vibrant leaves on brightly adorned flowers. 

Blue Sky

Picture












A lovely spring/summer/early fall sky.  This is a delightful blue that coordinates tonally with Dark Ocean, Cerulean Sea, Aqua Marine and Blue Lagoon.

Overcast Blue Sky

Picture












Great with Cerulean Sea, Delft.  For when you wish a bit more movement in your sky.  Use for wave highlights as well. 


Copenhagen Sky

Picture
A very happy sky.  Coordinates tonally with Deep Blue Sea, Captain Nemo, Blue Suede, Old Salt's Blue, Blue Heron, Delft.  Lovely for showing white caps on the ocean. 

Overcast Copenhagen

Picture












For an overcast day.  Coordinates tonally with Deep Blue sea, Stormy Waters, Deep Ocean. 

Overcast

Picture
A day when you want a bit of grey sky without the blue.  Great for those toned down days with more antiqued colours.  Goes well with Stormy Waters, Deep Ocean.


Pink Marble

Picture












Backgrounds for florals, geometric rugs, a soft Victorian look background. 

Rainbow Abrash

Picture
Wow, what a fabulous piece of poison!  This is a work of art just as is.  Stretched over an artist canvas this amazing explosion of colour is a show stopper.  But of course we want to hook it not look at it so use it as a background behind darker motifs.

Sunspot

Picture
This a beautiful background for florals and autumn scenes.  Can also be used as a bright sky.  Blue doesn't always have to be your first choice for sky!


Dragon's Breath

Picture
A humdinger autumn background.   Fall leaves, veins of leaves, fire, a blazing sunrise over the horizon.  Any number of garden flowers would come alive with this fantastic wool. 

Sponge Toffee

Picture
Darker than our Ecru this antique parchment style abrash would be lovely for backgrounds, hair, animals, and any place where a shot of gold is needed. 

Ecru

Picture
When you want the aged parchment look behind your fruit or florals.   I've used this in a lot of my piece to make the motif pop.  I like working with an abrashed wool so it appears to have some depth instead of a flat ivory surface.
