This book is the best detailed book I've seen. It is a detailed encounter for anyone just learning to rug hook or the pro learning some new techniques. Helpful hints, great history and some helpful websites on where to buy tools, yarn etc... Filled with great ideas too.

I have owned this book for many years and think that it is the best available on the topic of punching rugs. Amy Oxford is amazing and shares her ideas and techniques readily. Buy this book - you won't be sorry.

This is a great book, and I will never part with it! Great history of hooked rugs with yarn, and beautiful rugs to view. the book is of decent size and a great addition to any rug hooking library.

Excellent book that contains a history of punch needle; directions on how to do punch needle and a review of equipment needed. The writing is clear and concise with all that is needed to start the punch needle.

This book is such a detailed book of instructions. Almost like having and instructor at your side. Wonderful pictures to give ideas in color also that you can really follow along with your progress. I would highly recommend this book.

This book has everything you ever wanted to know about Needle Punch Rugs. It is a step by step layout on how to make your own needle punch rug. It is very easy to follow and anyone can do this. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is interested in making something that can be passed down to generations to come!!!

This is a comprehensive, practical, and well written book on punch needle rug hooking. I learned a lot and even laughed a few times when reading it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn the technique.

I actually checked this book out through my local library's network. I thought was going to be more about rug hooking than the punch needle. I'm so thrilled about the mistake. I found the technique easy to understand, I know it's easy to do because after I had the book a few days I realized I had done this in an 8th grade art class, the photos beautiful, and all the tips and hints very pertinent and very doable. The advanced techniques about dying your own wool sounded very approachable. (I'll probably never dye my own wool...for me that's just a disaster in the making).When I returned the book to the library I told them I liked the book so much I was going to add it my personal library. I'm just waiting until July because another book I want is being released and I'll get them both with the free shipping option.

Amy Oxford is a giant in the world of rug hooking. I mostly use wool strips, but frequently turn to this book for inspiration when I want to work up something more quickly. And the punch needle and yarn do work up quickly and beautifully. I share this book with friends who are interested in giving rug hooking a try. The text and illustrations are very easily understood and easy to follow for anyone. But it is just as useful for veteran hookers to gain fresh ideas and useful techniques.

super book in great condition and super fast shipping. am very pleased. thanks much.
