Rugs Hooking
During long winter evening I liked to watch my granny rugs hooking. Her laborious work seemed so incredible. First of all she cut old clothes into strips and pulled through burlap sacking. The cricket hook flied over the canvas like a butterfly over a flower. Colorful patterns were born in her hands.
Separate loops created intricate pictures of flowers or birds, fruits or vegetables. My granny used to say that rugs hooking is a real art. Rugs hooking is easy to master at the first glance but real masterpieces are born in the hands of a real enthusiast. Rugs hooking is known to be American folk art.
Though there’re records that rug hooking was met in Spain, Italy and other countries. Looped piles of hooked rugs are so delicate and subtle that it is recommended not to machine wash hooked rugs. You can put on the floor or hang on the wall the finished rug. It’ll be a special decoration to your house. hooked rugs
