This book contains a lot of solid basic information, but doesn't really cover any new ground. It's still worth reading!

This book gives an overview of how to hook, the use of color and dyeing, and offers patterns in several styles, from primitive to traditional. It's
a great book for a rug hooker's collection. My first and second rugs are from this book! The only drawback is that the formulas for dyeing are a little brief.

An inspiring book
9 Sep 2000
Format:Paperback
I found this book very exciting and has me ready to get into hooking rugs. It really covers it all from materials, dying fabric, choosing fabric, where to buy supplies, great designs for both traditional and modern, and good information on finishing projects. It gives lots of ideas for other, non-traditional materials that can be added to give your rug texture and that personal touch.If you are looking for a fantastic book on this subject look no further this covers it all. I just can't say enough. If you want to learn about rug hooking and you only buy one book.....this should be the one....it has it all!
