button to make to those interested In
hooking.
I have learned the art of hooking
as taught by an artist who has de-
voted all of her talents to designing
hooked rugs and furnishing the ma
terials for hooking have two of
the finished rugs which I would be
happy to show any one interested
and to teach them what have
learned about hooking. 1t is my
opinion that any one could hook, but
the art, as taught by this lady, is in
blending the colors. This is what
makes them more beautiful than
any hooked rugs I have ever seen. I
have one rug which is hooked by
hand with needle, and one which
Is hooked with shuttle. My ex-
perience is that the one hooked with
a needle wears better than the shut
tle-hooked rug, in that 1t won't pull
out. Hooked rugs in the past have
been done on burlap, but burlap,
like many other things today,
seems to have gone to war" Most
OF the rugs now are printed on
monks cloth, which 1t is believed
will give as good service as the bur-
lap. Also the rugs are hooked with
wool materials, not yarn.
Any one interested may feel free
