As a fiber artist and horsewoman, I've always wanted to make my own horse blankets. I came upon a method from the Southwest called pulled wool pads that is the perfect method for beginners or old hands when it comes to the fiber arts. Using a latch hook rug canvas and latch hook, a continuous piece of wool roving is pulled up through the canvas in loops. This method for building saddles pads is not only simple, and approachable, but yields exceptionally high quality saddle pads that many cowboys swear by.
This is a complete kit that comes with everything you need to successfully make your first pulled wool pad. I’ve written a comprehensive guide that shows you step by step instructions, complete with pictures and video links.
Kit includes:

Natural colors available: pure white, silver, taupe brown, medium brown, and dark brown. Roving is Jacob and Merino top.
