Searsport Rug Hooking

Searsport Rug Hooking was founded in 2004 by a mother-daughter team whose shared passion for rug hooking and wool crafts began decades earlier. Since our inception, we have dedicated ourselves to curating high-quality materials and fostering a community around traditional fiber arts. Our expertise spans over 20 years of hands-on experience in crafting, teaching, and retail, rooted in a 23-year legacy of operating a gift shop in Maine. We specialize in providing premium wool, yarns, tools, and educational resources to both novice and seasoned artisans. Our commitment to quality is evident in our hand-dyed Violet Jane Yarns and exclusive backing materials, which meet rigorous standards for durability and usability. As a family-run business, we prioritize personalized service, offering free color planning assistance and comprehensive support for guilds, shops, and educators.

Our relocation to Irmo, South Carolina, marks a new chapter in expanding access to our products while maintaining the integrity and craftsmanship that define our brand. We uphold transparency in sourcing and pricing, ensuring customers receive authentic, ethically produced supplies. Through annual events like the South Carolina Hookin convention, we actively contribute to preserving and innovating rug hooking traditions. Our dedication to customer satisfaction is reflected in our free shipping policy for orders over $150 and a curated selection of beginner-friendly kits. By combining decades of experience with a forward-thinking approach, we aim to inspire creativity and connect artisans worldwide.
