Hooked rugs are results of the technique that allows to create a looped pile fabric, tapestry or rug. The hook, that is used to create hooked rugs, has much in common with a crochet hook. Generally it is inserted into a wooden handle. The handle is used to pull strips of narrowly cut fabric from the back up to the front of the item that is being created. The strips from loops look like ribbon in hooked rugs. Usually woolen fabric is used in traditional hooked rugs, although in some geographic areas the use of woolen yarn was common. The fabric strips are pulled through a backing, commonly burlap, on which an ornament or a picture has been drawn. There are a high variety of different styles of hooked rugs. The result of some is vividly shaded, realistic flowers, fruits and scrolls, which were so popular in the middle of the twentieth century. Other styles of hooked rugs feature more primitive, folk-art style, associated with country decor. Hooked rugs will delight you through the years. |
