Well, if you're reliant on mail-order, and feeling overwhelmed, your best bet may be to choose one of the larger supply houses and get their catalogue. If you decide that you really want to hook a particular style of rug later on, you can then go back to the magazine and look for suppliers that say they specialize in that style. Also, our panel of experts have offered some advice on getting started . Your best bet is to look at Section VI of Traditional Rug Hooking Resources . There you will find suppliers and guilds listed by geographical location.
Guilds are a valuable resource in finding new leads, too.
One approach is to look for a good mail-order supplier by browsing the advertisements in Rug Hooking magazine. Also, many of the suppliers listed in our Rug Hooking Links page do mail-order and offer catalogues online. Contact information for the major mail-order suppliers is listed here . Although Rug Hooking magazine carries advertisements from suppliers, we ourselves do not sell supplies. See the previous answers for information on suppliers and their catalogues, and check our links section for suppliers with web sites.
