Three dandelion clocks with seeds drifting away across a soft grey background, the orange and green centres standing out against the white fluff. The canvas is hand painted, so there is no counting involved: you simply follow the colours printed on it.
Latch hooking means knotting one tuft of yarn at a time into the holes of the canvas with the hook provided, and the yarn comes already cut to length — a repetitive, relaxing rhythm that younger stitchers enjoy too. When the pile is complete, the edges are turned under and secured with the binding tape included. The finished piece works as a small rug, a cushion front or a wall hanging.
