Hooked rugs are an American creation. They are primarily a folk craft in which burlap sacking is used for the foundation and yarn or shredded fabric is pulled through by a hooked tool to create a pile and pattern. The sizes of early pieces are generally small limited by the dimensions of the burlap sack. They may be pictorial figural abstract and geometric or a mix of all. They are a creation first of New England and later the rural mid-west. This attractive example has a vertically marbled field created by strips of fabric. In this way old clothes or bedding were usefully recycled.

Caring for your rug
Caring for your rug
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
