Hooked Rugs and Pattern Information
A rug hooking pattern
is
a simple
line
drawing
which we
silkscreen
on a backing, the most common of which is
burlap.
We carry
hundreds
of
patterns
and
continue
to
introduce
new
ones.
We have
many of
these
patterns
on display
on this
site
presented
as
finished
pieces.
Almost
all
of our
customers
buy pre-printed patterns. However
some folks
purchase
backing (burlap, monk's cloth, linen) and draw
their own
patterns.
It is
considerably
more
challenging
to do this
as you
then must first think up a neat design and then interpret,
develop
and
implement
your own
color plan and then try to find all the wool of the appropriate colors that you
need for your project. Most of our patterns are available individually although others are only
available as part of a kit.
The rug hooking pattern
you see to
the left
has been
printed on
burlap and
is one of
our most popular
and
successful 
hooked rug designs and
is called
the
Running
Rabbit. This
design is
sold as a rug hooking kit and
comes with
a color plan, a
photograph, cut
wool, rug
binding
and a hook
which
makes your
part easy;
you just
have to
hook
it.
Please be
advised
that we
silkscreen
our
patterns
and strive
for high
quality at
all
times. With these materials readily available
you can
begin the
process of
creating
your
original
piece of
folk art. With a little practice and lots of patience your hand crafted
hooked rug could look like this when completed.
Fine Rug Hooking Patterns
are
distinguished
by having
more
detail as
the wool strips
are
traditionally
narrower
and the
designs
more
realistic.
Many
values of
colors may
be used to
accent the shades of detail
required. Fine rug hooking patterns are
usually
undertaken
by folks
who have
more
experience
and
familiarity
with the
technique
of hooking
rugs. Click button above to see rug hooking patterns.
Penny
Patterns
are
unique
pieces
that
combine
several
techniques
to create
the
distinctive
look you
can see on
the images
presented.
Coins were available and used by needle
workers to trace shapes. Can you imagine how they came up with the name
Penny Rugs? Click button above to see penny patterns.
Primitive Rug Hooking Patterns
are
generally
characterized
by less
detailed
folk themes. These hooked rugs use
wider
strips of rug hooking wool. Primitives can use tweeds and
textures
with great
results.
The wide
strips of
wool allow
you to
complete a larger rug in a
shorter
period of
time. Click button above to see primitive rug hooking patterns.
