I have only been working with Jeanne Benjamin from New Earth Designs a short while, but I have to recommend her! Her Oriental rug designs are incredible and so is her hand-dyed wool! Beautiful for anything, but especially for orientals.

All my rugs since 2017 have used wool dyed by me using Lucy Richard's Wooly Mason Jar dyeing system. I highly recommend this simple and cost-effective system using Pro Chem dyes.

Kevin was born and raised in small town Amherst, Nova Scotia and is now settled in Shemogue, New Brunswick. He started his arts path in his early teens with Oil Painting, to be followed by Tole Painting which he successfully taught for 5 years. After many forays in the Fiber Arts, including Punch Needle Embroidery, Cross Stitch, Needlepoint and Latch Hook, Kevin was introduced to Traditional Rug Hooking by his Mother. Kevin has evolved into Punch Needle Rug Hooking where he has found great peace and relaxation in using the Amy Oxford Punch Needle. He is a Certified Oxford Punch Needle Rug Hooking Instructor and is offering classes throughout the area and is excited to spread the joy of Punch Needle Rug Hooking.
