Rug hooking is a traditional craft that involves pulling loops of yarn or fabric through a backing material, typically made of burlap or linen. This technique creates a textured surface, often used for making decorative rugs, wall hangings, or other textile art. The process allows for creativity, as various colors and patterns can be incorporated into the design. To begin rug hooking, artisans use a special tool called a hooking tool to pull the material through the backing. The loops are secured in place, forming a durable and visually appealing piece. This craft has a rich history and is enjoyed by many as a relaxing and rewarding hobby.
