What is Rug Hooking?
Rug hooking is a type of fiber art that uses wool strips that are pulled through a foundation material like linen, monk’s cloth, or burlap; this is done with a special hook. The finished product may be a rug, wall hanging, pillow, or many other possibilities. These projects often include different mediums, textures, and applique.
