Definición y Significado de "rug hooking"

What is "rug hooking"?

Rug hooking is a craft technique used to create rugs or mats by pulling loops of yarn, fabric strips, or fibers through a backing material. This backing is often a coarse, burlap-like fabric stretched on a frame. The hooked loops form patterns or designs on the surface of the rug. The process involves using a special tool called a hook to pull the material through small holes in the backing, creating a textured and durable surface. Rug hooking allows for the creation of custom designs and is valued for both its functional and artistic qualities.
