Vintage Shillcraft Latch Hook Rug Kit #142 Bengal Tiger
This is an open box item without the original box or instructions. I believe that all the yarn needed to complete the kit is present, however, since there are no instructions or color chart included I cannot 100% be certain if all the yarn is there. It is being sold exacty AS IS shown in the photos. Latch Hook tool is also NOT included in the kit. There is no rug binding. This listing is for the canvas and yarn only.
There are 7 different colors of 100% acrylic yarn. The canvas is stenciled with colors to complete the design. The color of the yarn does not necessarily match the color of the painted areas on the canvas. The colors painted on the canvas are generally a brighter shade than the actual yarn color. This was done intentionally by the manufacturer to make it easy to distinguish the colored areas on the canvas from one another while completing the rug. The bright orange color on the canvas is to be completed with color #321 which is not a bright orange color at all. Please see photo #5 of this yarn to see the actual color that the main body of the tiger will be. It is more of a brown color. If a bright orange color is desired for the tiger, it would have to be purchased separately.
My best guess as to how to complete the kit is as follows:
The orange areas should be completed with #321. There are 6 large pkgs plus 1 small pkg wrapped with white paper of this color.
The light green areas should be completed with #17. There are 7 pkgs plus 1 small pkg wrapped with white paper of this color.
The dark brown areas should be completed with #316. There are 6 pkgs of this color.
The black areas should be completed with #48. There are 18 pkgs of this color.
The unstencilled areas should be completed with white #36. There are 2 pkgs plus 1 small pkg wrapped with white paper of this color.
The yellow areas should be completed with #44. There are 8 pkgs of this color.
The dark green areas should be completed with #95. There are 6 pkgs of this color plus 1 small pkg wrapped in white paper of this color.
The size of the completed rug is 30"x50"
The cost of shipping is a bit on the pricey side due to the weight of the rug kit. All shipping costs are exactly what USPS Priority Mail rates currently are. Shipping cost is based on zone and weight.
