hooked rugs
Yarn-pulled floor coverings
Hooked rugs are handmade rugs created by pulling loops of yarn or fabric strips through a woven base, typically burlap or linen.
The technique produces a textured, slightly raised surface.
Traditional hooked rugs often feature folk art designs—flowers, animals, geometric patterns.
The craft became popular in 19th-century North America, where households made them from scrap fabric: My grandmother's hooked rug still covers the hallway floor.
