Description: rug hooking kits by sara-beth black
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.
