This really is the "Bible" for rug hooking! June 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is my favorite rug hooking book, and I believe I own them all. The photographs are beautiful and so helpful, the instructions are clear and the authors go into the kind of detail that is really helpful to beginners like me, and I expect to experienced hookers as well. The two companion DVDs, if you can find them, are amazing and illustrate the beginning chapters beautifully. Learning by watching someone actually do the hooking is even better than reading about it. A lot of books for beginners gloss over some important steps, and you are left wondering how to correctly put the pattern on the frame, or which direction to hold your hook, or how to turn a corner, or how to fill in a little space,etc. I don't mean to imply that the book is at all simplistic, because the later chapters detail quite advanced techniques. I am only saying that it is detailed in a good way, which is very helpful. I expect to use this book for many years to come.

This is a really great book for people wanting to learn the intricacies of hooking with wool. I found the examples of fine shading better that many of the books written solely about fine shading. There is something in this book for everyone from beginners to experts. The photos are fabulous too. If your eyes are too tired to read, just cruise through the photos, they're beautiful and worth every cent you'll pay. Of all the books on rug hooking that I have (and I have almost all of them), this is my favorite.
Excellent source of info for all levels of rug hooking. January 9, 2007

This "Bible" is a wonderful resource for the basics, as well as advanced hooking and dyeing techniques. As a beginner, I was surprised to learn of all the variations in design, composition, and color shading possible. It covers both primitive technique and precision hooking in great detail. This is the one to buy. I'd also bought "Purely Primitive", and it was just that--the very, very basics. I learned alot more from "The Rug Hooker's Bible".
