Loopy Ladies
JANUARY 1, 2026: Loopy Ladies has a new status. We are now an informal rug hooking group. We will no longer post updates to this website nor be posting to our Facebook page. But we continue to be huge fans of this fun, creative fiber art, and hope you are too. And, since you are here, you may be interested in some resources supporting rug hooking (see below).

Our best wishes for your spectacular success in rug hooking. Or, perhap more modestly, that it brings you some quiet time to contemplate and refresh your spirit.
