The technique of latch hooking is a straightforward method of weaving that entails the utilization of a specialized instrument known as a latch hook to tie small strands of yarn through a fabric basis that is shaped like a grid (rug canvas). By simply looping a piece of yarn around the crook of the latch hook and threading the hooked end beneath one area of the canvas, the process is as simple as it can possibly be. After that, remove the latch hook from the box in the same manner that you inserted it.
