Here is some of what the reviewers had to say (click on the link to read the complete review):

"The introduction and progression of the text was easy and enticing enough to coax confidence from the very start...What's perhaps best is that it has been cheerfully and enthusiastically written.  It is so compelling that it will make you want to get busy making your own items..." Sheep!Magazine

"Beautiful color photographs on each page catch your eye, drawing you into the text and helping you learn the process...  This is a well-done book that reflects Judy's upbeat approach to life with sheep and wool.  If you have not tried using your wool for hooked rugs, Hooking With Yarn will motivate your imagination to plan a project and get hooking..."

"Hooking With Yarn is a beautiful book.  It has color pictures on almost every page along with numerous illustrations of rug hooking that show the reader the basic techniques.  An added advantage is that it includes four nice projects for the reader to try...  The author's knowledge and enthusiasm for the craft of rug hooking is quite evident."  Loose Threads


"The book looks good.  It feels good.  It is inviting.  The attractive cover immediately broadcasts the possibilities of what I will find inside---color, design, instruction... I'm giving rug hooking a try.  I have seen Judy's beautiful creations.  This book is another.  It deserves your look, too."

SOLD OUT!
My book is out of print, and there are no immediate plans for the publisher (Rug Hooking Magazine) to reprint.

I would suggest trying E-bay.com or Amazon.com


It's really a pity, since there are NO OTHER BOOKS ON THE MARKET that cover hooking with yarn at all!  Hopefully, I'll be able to persuade RHM to reprint in the future, or write a new book, because it's been a godsend to have!

Don't lose hope though!  I'm currently working on a new book, called "The Joy of Hooking
(with yarn)" due out this fall!
