The complete book of rug hooking

This book is a great addition to a rug hookers book collection and especially for the new hooker :-) It gives detailed instruction on how to hook along with some history of the art, a section on how to tranfer patterns to your backing and dying lessons. It is a good all around hooking book. She also has a picture gallery of rugs. In rug hooking nothing is "old fashion"--Just diffrent taste. Once You learn the basics the sky is your limit. Buk look out --like M & M's you may not be able to stop with one book--or with one rug--

Ifd you want to learn how to hook rugs than this is your book. Details and descriptions are helpful. Rughooking is not hard but this book helps you get a jump start.

When I was a beginning hooker, I borrowed this book from our local library. It was so good, and helpful, that I did not want to return it. Especially helpful then (and now) was the leaves & flowers section and finishing the rug. I have purchased the book and refer to it often!

If you are a serious, traditional rug hooker, or want to be, this is the book for you. Joan Moshimer was trained in the Perl McGowen style of hooking, but went out on her own with a bit more wimsey. This covers it all, including dying intructions.

This book gives very detailed instructions on dyeing. It covers jar dyeing, casserole dyeing, spot dyeing and gradation dyeing. There are also instructions on shading flowers, leaves and animal eyes. Order it before it goes out of print!
