Standing-Wool-Storage-Stool

Standing-Wool-Storage-Stool-drawerlDescription: Standing Wool Storage Stool…say that five times....or just join Ali & create your own!

Standing wool, or Quillies as they are sometimes called (because they resemble paper quilling), are all the rage – whether it’s an entire rug or embellishment in a hooked rug. By standing bits of wool on edge, and sewing them together with a long needle and strong thread, standing wool can add style and dimension to whatever color palette your work in.

The 8"w x 14 1/2" l x 7 1/2" h stool, made specifically for this project, is hand-crafted in pine and painted a distressed black. You'll even make your own "knob" to act as the drawer pull. The free form standing wool and hooked top is constructed on a base of rug linen. You'll start by couching down the outside border using hand-dyed dreads and yarn. Then move on to the standing wool design made with spot dyed wool, and finally fill in with traditional rug hooking using cuts # 8 – 8.5.

Not only will you leave class with a fun and functional piece, but you’ll have added a bunch of new and creative techniques to your repertoire for future projects.
