Description: | Hand-hooked rugs, also known as 'hooky rugs' are made by feeding long strips of fabric through a backing fabric. The backing used on this piece is made from a rough and hard-wearing weave called hessian. With the aid of a needle resembling a large crochet hook, the wide weave of hessian allows strips of material to be threaded through easily. The multicoloured strips of fabric are made from various textiles, in keeping with tradition. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | North East makers living in the North East craft home life made in the North East textiles makers contemporary craft | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
