Rug Hooking

Rug hooking is the art of creating rugs with strips of wool fabric pulled through a foundation fabric, such as burlap, linen, or monks cloth. In very basic terms, rug hooking consists of one stitch - pulling a loop of wool through a hole with a hook that resembles a crochet hook with a handle. It's an ancient art that dates back to the Egyptians.

Today, rug hooking is viewed as a way to balance our increasingly hectic lives with a creative outlet, while creating heirlooms and collectibles.
