It's no different among some of my rug hooking friends, although I hope the term is being used affectionately. My goal in taking this course was to explore a more relaxed approach to rug hooking, to use a variety of textured materials and to hook with wider cuts. This 12” x 18” piece was hooked on burlap with yarn, roving, new and recycled wool strips in mostly #5 and #6 cuts. When I attempted to hook more randomly I quickly discovered that it's harder to do than it looks.
