Judy Carter, renowned rug hooker specialising in hooking animals, has put together a book with her best tips and techniques for creating realistic animals in Hooking Animals.

She includes a range of animal species whether you want to hook your favourite wild animal or family pet using either wide- or fine-cut wool strips. Judy provides step-by-step instructions for all stages of the rug hooking process from the initial designs to translating that design into a finished creation.

She covers the differing techniques for hooking hair, fur, feathers, scales, and more.

She also examines how to capture facial features, such as eyes, ears, and noses.
