5.0 out of 5 stars
A good library book -- for home also!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Book of Rug Hooking (Paperback)
When I was a beginning hooker, I borrowed this book from our local library. It was so good, and helpful, that I did not want to return it. Especially helpful then (and now) was the leaves & flowers section and finishing the rug. I have purchased the book and refer to it often!

Very Boring,

This review is from: The Complete Book of Rug Hooking (Paperback)
I personally found this book to be a big disappointment. The designs were extremely old fashioned and not very exciting. The details on dying fabrics were the only things worth while. If you are looking for a fantastic book on this subject look at "The Rug Hook Book" by Thom Boswell, it covers it all from where to get supplies, choosing fabrics (with lots of ideas for adding fun and unusual materials for texture and color), great patterns from traditional to modern. I just can't say enough. If you only buy one book.....this should be the one!!!

A must-have book for rug hookers,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Book of Rug Hooking (Paperback)
This book gives very detailed instructions on dyeing. It covers jar dyeing, casserole dyeing, spot dyeing and gradation dyeing. There are also instructions on shading flowers, leaves and animal eyes. Order it before it goes out of print!
