The fine art of rug making has never been more popular than it is today. The traditional, utilitarian craft of the past has been transformed by modern designers into an exciting and original art form, taking inspiration from many different fields.
This vibrant and colourful book describes all the most popular handcraft techniques in use today, most of which require only a minimum of tools and equipment. The methods covered in detail include: braiding, prodding tufting, felting hooking, knitting needlepoint, locker-hooking and weaving.
Full instructions and patterns are given for making six stunning rugs to original designs by the author, each illustrating a different technique.
Numerous colour photographs and more than seventy clear diagrams, supplemented by a handy glossary of technical terms, help to take the mystery out of this absorbing craft.
