Best For Beginners: Latch Hook Kits – Tapestry Rug Hooking Kit for Adults

Rug hooking is a popular hobby but we must admit—it looks rather intimidating as a beginner. 

That’s where latch hook kits come in: you get all the supplies needed (canvas, yard, puncher). The best kits for beginners also have easy-to-follow instructions. 

That’s why we liked this kit: Tangywize’s Latch Hook Kits Tapestry Rug. After trying out several kits, we thought this one is the best for beginners, thanks to great instructions. Here’s more:

What We Liked

• When finished, it is easy to hang the canvas.

• Simple instructions.

• Fun for beginners.

• Wood latch tool.

• 12″ by 11″ project—smaller is better for those starting out!

What Needs Work

• Small project size. While smaller projects are great for beginners, other kits we tried produced larger projects (roughly 24″ by 15″) that would make nice rugs. This project is more of a wall hanging.

Best Modern Design: DIY Handmade Shaggy Latch Hook Kit Rug

Most latch hook kits feature animals or other cute designs. That’s nice, but what if you want to use the resulting project as a rug in your house? This kit by GMXI is the best bet, in our opinion. We liked the cool abstract design . . . and the kit’s instructions are easy to follow.

What We Liked

• Bright colors. This kit has colors that look brighter in the real world versus what you see above . . . 

• Soft yarn.

• Comes in nice gift box.

• Easy-to-follow directions.

What Needs Work

• Hard to see some of the pre-printed lines on the canvas. best latch hook kits for adults

• Instructions come in plastic folder.

• Includes a plastic box to hold all the supplies.
