Description
"Rug Hooking is an early American and European folk art in which strips of wool are pulled through a burlap backing. The colorful loops shape designs and become a rug for doorway or display. Originally, leftover scraps or worn household items were recycled into hooked rugs, making this an ecologically friendly craft. Here a woman with a traditional hook works on her hooked rug with #8 cut wool strips. Little has changed in this traditional art in the past 200 years."
