The pattern regarding the rainbow rug states yarn however the picture does not look like yarn. If it is yarn what type. If you have any other pictures of the entire rug would you please post them. Thank you
I haven’t seen it in years, but it looks like jersey material. If you ever made a woven potholder with jersey loopers, you’re already familiar with the fabric. It can be — or used to be — put up in skeins. However, any thick yarn would do. #12 hook is metric — think the size of your index finger.
Thank you for the response. Will have to give it a try
beautiful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊😊😊
