Knotted Rug
traditional colonial rug hooking?

I went to a heritage craft festival last year, and there was a lady making rugs. It was at a Colonial period mansion, and she said the rugs were found in the storage of the family, and never finished. So she was using similar materials, and following the pattern to finish them. I guess it was rug hooking, but I don’t remember her calling it that. She would take a very thick piece of wool and pull it through the backing to make a little loop, then, on the same piece of wool, just make a loop in the next hole, no knots, no cut pieces..she said the fabric was so tight and the wool so thick that it would hold it in, and eventually the bottom would become felt from walking on it (she showed me the older portions of the piece). Is that the same as regular modern rug hooking? it doesn’t seem like it…
does anyone know if this sounds right? does anyone rug hook like this?
Thanks!

It can be called punch rug or rug hooking also have heard it called by other names that are used just in certain regions of the country.
With a rug hook you reach through a hole you make in the fabric, grab hold of the fabric underneath and pull loops of the fabric(or yarn )through to the top of the fabric to make a loop. It is usually done with burlap backing, or you can buy rug backing made especially for it.
For punch rugs you have a tool that the material or yarn is threaded though. You push it through the rug backing and hold one hand underneath to hold onto the loop so it won’t pull out when the punch is pulled back out and moved to make the next hole. Aunt Lydia Yarn Co used to sell a lot of the kits to make them and also the patterned rug backing along with how much yarn you would need to make them, but I think they totally dropped that line.
If the loops are made too closely together the rug won’t lay flat, it will buckle from too much material being forced into too small an area. I have made over 40 hook rugs and easily twice that many punch rugs over the past 35 years. Have made them with wool material cut into narrow strips, cotton material and cotton or polyester yarns too. They are fun and can last for a lot of years. It takes a lot of patience and doesn’t take long before you can get the hang of how closely to place the loops.
Have 3 upstairs now that I keep putting off starting because of a lot of other projects I need to finish first.

Buy Rugs Without Wasting Hours Doing Research Or Thousands Buying Poor Quality Rugs

Do not make the mistake of taking the decision to buy rugs without any advance preparation or planning. If you simply decide one fine day to buy rugs for your house and walk into the store, chances are high that you would end up being dejected by the high prices or end of purchasing poor quality rugs in your attempt to reduce prices.

A lot of financial planning is required before you buy rugs. You will first have to analyze your requirements. The size of the drawing room or the living room matters a lot. Your choice of rugs in these rooms is very important because it would reflect upon your tastes and style when you entertain guests.

On the other hand, rugs in your bedroom should reflect your personal sense of comfort and relaxation. There is no point in going in for a fancy but uncomfortable or difficult to maintain rug for your bedroom or private space.

Rugs for offices are a completely different thing. The idea of rugs in office may sound very ostentatious and expensive. However, you can easily make your personal working space more comfortable and relaxed by having a good quality rug.

Once you have considered these factors, it is time to determine the size of the rug. When you buy rugs, you will have to ask yourself whether you want to increase the size of the room or make the room feel smaller and more compact. In case of the former, it is advisable to go in for light colored rugs that do not a stretch from wall to wall. On the other hand, dark, lush and rich rugs that move from one wall to the other will make the room feel smaller and compact.

Once you have considered these points, it is time to determine your budget. Do not be scared that you may not get a rug that fits your budget. There is no need to buy from traditional outlets only. You can also check out resources on the World Wide Web. Further, you should consider going in for used rugs as well. A well maintained rug can help you save a lot of money and help you decorate your house even if you do not have a lot of money to spare.

You cannot carry out all these activities when you are standing in the store and the sales person is waiting for you to take a final decision to buy rugs, can you?

Trade Show Carpeting Options

Many exhibitors at trade events choose carpet as their flooring option, and for good reason. It is durable, soft, inexpensive, and comes in a variety of colors and styles. Show attendees, as well as booth exhibitors, can get pretty tired from walking around on concrete convention halls all day. When you have to walk and stand for hours on end at a trade show, softer flooring provides a nice, comfortable break for your feet. There are several types to choose from, ensuring there is an option available that will suit your needs.

Basic Convention Center Carpeting Types

Besides the standard trade show carpeting you would expect, there are also more innovative types. As the ‘green’ movement becomes more and more significant, an increasing number of people are focused on using sustainable materials in their trade exhibit. Recycled varieties are a great green product. It is made with durable nylon fibers, so it will not fuzz or shed off. Made from previously used carpets, this flooring is perfect for the environmentally conscious consumer and comes in a wide variety of colors.

Berber carpet is something that you may not expect to see used as a trade show carpet. This nicer quality flooring will help your exhibit stand out from the others and add elegant style to your show booth. Berber also comes in a wide range of patterns and color combinations.

Indoor/Outdoor Styles

Exhibitors can even purchase trade show carpeting that will work either inside or outside. Everyone knows that weather is unpredictable. When the temperature is warm enough to be outside, sudden showers and thunderstorms can often crop up, especially in the summer. If you plan on exhibiting outside and want to use a flooring option other than the ground itself, it is definitely a good idea to rely on a waterproof option that will hold up to rain. This convention center carpeting comes in a few different styles and several distinctive colors.

Digital Printing On Carpet

With today’s advances in digital technology, it is now possible to put basically any kind of graphic on any material. Digital printing on carpet offers a world of possibilities. If someone creates a design using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or another kind of graphics program, that design can easily be printed on alternative flooring. This method is fantastic for detailed designs. Exhibitors will easily attract attention to their trade show floors with digital graphics, since they are a fresh alternative to boring, solid-colored floors.

Carpet Inlays

If digital printing is for complex designs, then carpet inlays are for simpler designs. Inlays are smaller pieces of the material that are sewn into a bigger piece. Skilled craftsmen can combine the various colors and designs into one seamless roll of trade show carpeting. The result is a beautiful, professional design that ends up looking a little nicer than just digital printing on carpet.

There are many types of trade show carpet that will work for your exhibiting needs. Whether you go with recycled, Berber, or indoor/outdoor styles, or choose to have digitally printed designs or carpet inlays, companies will stand out at exhibits with their unique flooring.
