learn to make fabulous rugs, even freeform rugs, on wooden frames. This
book opens a whole new world for the rugmaker!
Some of the techniques included are: Knotted shag rugs (including the
high-speed knotted shag which cuts rug making time in half); darned
rugs,
Amish knot rugs; Bess Chet rugs; twined rugs; locker hooking (no canvas
needed!); modified taaniko, soumak and rya knots; and various weaving
methods
suited for frames such as flat weaving, frame braids and wagon wheel
rugs.
