In January 2004, Northern Colorado's only rug hooking retail store opened to the public. The Wool Basket, LLC is home for those people who love working with wool and demonstrating their artistry through traditional and primitive rug hooking, wool appliqué, rug braiding, or those who want to learn. The Loveland store serves not only eastern and northern Colorado, but western Kansas and Nebraska, and Wyoming.

Wool Basket, LLC stocks a complete line of rug hooking supplies, along with gifts and collectable's. We carry a great selection of hand dyed, tweeds, plaids, and herringbone, and 'as is' wool. The store carries several types of hoops and frames, monk's cloth and linen backing materials, cloth cutters, hooks, patterns, and more. Beginning rug hooking classes are conducted each month. Penny rug classes and rug braiding classes are also offered. Call for class schedules and details. Rug hookers may drop in to hook together the third Wednesday of each month from 1 to 4 P.M., and the second Saturday of each month from 10 A.M. to 2 P.M. Information about our classes is available in our newsletter.
