for ideas, good value The used book arrived in perfect condition, It shows several rag rugging techniques explained with photographs, Various rugs and wall hangings are seen throughout the book and the materials and tools required, For personal use as I have an interest in old crafts I give this rating for the very clear instructions which are easy to understand.
This book would appeal to the complete beginner and the experienced rug maker, Lots of useful information and

creative ideas for rugging, Covers hooking, proddy and braiding, Great book for starting out or for long term hookers, Would recommend it. Wonderful pictures and variety of samples, It was just what I required, . and although old the book had ideas that I could use to develop new techniques It came quicker than expected! Interesting read and excellent pics and informative in a broad general way.
Found constant references to traditional methods etc, confusing, the traditional methods vary from area to area and country to country, Discarded clothes, sewing remnants, even old blankets recycling materials you have available or find at sales is part of the fun of rag rug making.
The other enjoyable part is the techniques from hooking to prodding to braiding strips, Put them to work to great effect with a wide selection of designs in the Broken Glass, Star Burst, Bright and Breezy, Edge of the River, Blossom Time rugs.
You're not limited to rugs, however! Choose from a wall hanging, a cushion cover, and a pin you'll make this environmentally friendly piece of jewelry from paper scraps!.
