What is a Readicut Rug craft kit?

A Readicut Rug craft kit is a set of tools and materials for creating a latch hook rug at home. The rug kits, products of Readicut International, come in a wide variety of designs and materials.

All of the kits listed on the Readicut website include a printed canvas, pre-cut rug yarns and instructions. Of the four brands offered, the Anchor and Vervaco kits include the latch hook tool but the kits from Caron and MCG Textiles require the latch hook to be purchased separately.

Readicut was founded in 1928 began supplying pre-cut wool for rug making hobbyists rather than the wool being on skeins in 1928, and the company proudly claims to have marketed one of the first craft kits.
