Finally found the perfect rug hooking book!
The author has written a wonderful book to begin the rug hooking journey. The instructions and preparation for the wool, color choices, etc., are so easy to understand. The technique for transferring patterns is a great alternative to tracing paper and the colors chosen for the projects are so pretty!
This is the best all around book I've read so far and I started a collection of hardcover and digital rug hooking books. Definitely a book you should purchase.

A great book of help for learning to hook rugs in the primitive
style. Some good information on dyeing. Especially great advice on hooking
various motifs and working with reclaimed woolens.
