Rug Hooker's Companion by Donna Hrkman
Just exactly how wide is a #8 cut? Should I buy a bent hook or a straight hook? What type of frame is best? How do I determine how much wool I will need? This handy guide, sized to tuck into a project bag or pocketbook, will provide the answers. Filled with fibre facts and hooking hints, it will become a classic: a source of facts, tips, and techniques for all rug hookers.
The book is beautifully illustrated with line drawings of hooks, frames, cutters, hooking motifs, and much more, and includes definitions of rug hooking terms, wool and fabric facts, colour terminology, and basic dyeing information. It's ideal for beginners and expert rug hookers alike.
