Hooked Rugs |
If you want to get involved in such an interesting occupation resulting in beautiful hooked rugs, you can not do without some specialized tools. It is simple enough to learn the process of hooked rugs creation, but there are some differences in a fabric, design, and technique that you might apply. To weave hooked rugs you may need the following tools: a drawing that serves as a pattern, scraps of fabric in colors to suit your pattern, a hook that can be purchased in many stores, scissors, a masking tape, a permanent marker, yarn to match your fabric scraps, a big needle and straight pins at last.
First of all, cut the fabric into strips that are about inch wide and about fifteen inches long. For thick fabrics like wool, narrower strips are likely to fit. For thin fabrics like cotton or silk, cut wider strips. You should cut very carefully to shun fraying of hooked rugs. If you are unexperienced in rugs hooking, you had better not cut all of the fabric at once, but rather cut several strips at a time until you determine if the width you have cut is suitable for resulting hooked rugs.
