Hand hooked rugs are renowned for their vibrant colors and rich textures. The artisans who create these works of art employ a wide range of materials, including wool, cotton, and even recycled fabrics. The result is a tapestry of colors and textures that dances before the eyes.
Time-Honored Traditions
The tradition of hand hooking rugs dates back centuries. In the 19th century, this craft was a common pastime for women in rural New England. Using simple tools and materials, they created rugs that served both decorative and functional purposes.
