What's the difference between a rug tufting kit and latch hook rugs?
A rug tufting kit and a latch hook rug kit both lead to glorious handmade floor décor, but the process is a little different. Latch hook rugs are made by looping pre-cut yarn through canvas one knot at a time, while tufting uses a mechanical tool to create a dense, carpet-like finish and feel.

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 1 reviews.
A much longer project than the coasters I'd done before, but I felt accomplished when I was done. I'd suggest taking a lot of breaks as working on the rug for more than a few hours straight started to cause some hand/wrist pain. And I'd have loved a little bit more of that deep red yarn. Just a personal preference.
