Rug Hooking
by Sara-Beth Black:
Rug Hooking originally started in the 1800’s using wool fabric cut in strips and hooked thru a backing made from an old feed sack. This is NOT latchhook or punch hook or punch needle. Using burlap, monks cloth, or primitive linen as a backing, I draw the design I want to hook. Most of my pieces are rugs that are actually used on the floor so I hook with 100% wool fabric for durability. I use wool fabric off the bolt that I dye as well as recycled wool from garments that I get at thrift shops, then overdye.

My rug hooking supplies and kits are available at The Design Gallery in Burnsville and at My Quilt Shoppe in Hendersonville.

January, 2010,classes will start with an all-day HOOK-IN at the Johnson Farm in Hendersonville. More information on this to come. If you are interested, and did not sign up at the Fiber Fair, Email me and I will notify you with details.
