Cape Playhouse Staff j Tells Story of Hooked Rugs The age-old handicraft of rug hooking was brought to our coun- try by women from the British Isles, France and the Scandinavian countries. With these early pioneers rug making was not a hobby or a lux- ury but a necessity. The floors of the homes ' must be covered for warmth aud this problem tell to the women folk to solve. Wool sheared from their sheep was woven into material fcnd dyed with dyes made from berries and other vegetation. On pieces of old grain sacks were drawn simple de- signs, usually of some pet animal or ' familiar scene about the farm. The wool pieces cut in rather wide strips were hooked into the backing with a hook fashioned from a nail. Although this sounds very crude in comparison with our modem method of hooking rugs, the hooker was none the less sincere about her handiwork . She did the best she could with what she had to "work with , which is considered an 1 art in itself. Many of these old rugs are still in existeuce, some are museum pieces. One views them with a feeling of reverence as they think of the clever hands that made them and the many little feet that pattered over them. These old rugs were not appre- ciated by the next generation and were stored in attics when they were found years later by antique hunters. They were bought for a song, taken to Antique Shops and sold for large Bums. In recent years the handicraft has been revived. In many Instances as a hobby and in others as a business. With many clever de- signers producing patterns and ex- cellent teachers available to teach the modern way of hooking, namely, 'painting with wool," hundreds of beautiful rugs are being made yearly here on Cape Cod. Hand-hooked rugs are a "must" in our Cape Cod homes, but are Just as lovely in other types of houses. Rug making is practical, inexpen- sive and not too diftcult to achieve. First, one should buy or make an easel-frame which can be adjusted to the right angle for comfortable working. If this is your Art rug and you are not artistically In- clined , it would be wise to get aome instructions from a teaoher in se- lecting the design and setting up the design in colors. The secret of a beautiful rug is in the dye pot so you should learn at once how to get those ten heavenly shades used in a rose or a leaf. The thrill that comes with mak- ing a rose cup, a leaf curl, a bud twist, a pansy wink or a wave roll cannot be put In writing, Use only wool, never mix cotton or silk with lt. Cotton packs, has no resilience and soils easily. Silk will not wear. The wool does not have to be new. Old wool suits, skirts and coats are excellent and don't worry about the color. It fun experimenting with the dye baths and getting the multitude of colors and shades that you will need. Cut your strips very fine, one-eighth inch being best for deli- cate shading and veining. Pull all ends to the surface and slip just that end ; do not clip the whole rug. This weakens the rug and less- ens the wear. Finish by hemming with a good rug binding and press- ing. A rug well made can be vacuum cleaned every day with no harm ' done. Once you start you will love the work and for every rug you make you will plan to make two more. Your rugs, things of beauty, will be loved and respected by your family and friends and will some day be heirloomB. Rug hooking is a relaxing, heal- thy hobby for anyone. Editor 's Note: The next Hobby Story will be Cape Cod's photogenic "Jane Russell."
