Rug and mat hooking is a handcraft that originated more than a century ago out of a necessity to cover bare floors. Not a lot has changed since those early days in the methods used, however the materials have. Today more attention is paid to the 100% wool content. Years ago many materials were used which included every scrap of discarded clothing from the inside out. Today there is a growing interest in the use of many different materials to create original designs. Soon you will have your own collection of beautiful hooked mats and rugs that will eventually become your family heirlooms.
