Rugmaking Tools

Rug Punch Needle
Needle with wood handle and metal shaft with eye that holds thread-- for the technique of rugmaking where you poke the needle in and out to make loops for the rug pile, working from the underside. By Susan Bates.

RUG HOOK, PRIMITIVE.
Traditional wood handled rug hook for working punch needle rugs on a canvas backing.  Fine rug hooks, 1-1/4" long.

Prodding Tool
A finely finished 4-3/4" hardwood tool for pushing "rag" strips into a loose backing to make the very rich "prodded" rugs, popular in UK. Uses small pieces of fabric rather than the long strips required for punch or braided rugs.

Locker Hook
Used for a unique canvas needlework technique, this heavy 6" needle has an eye on one end and a hook on the opposite end.  Nickel-plated, and carded with instructions.

Petite Locker Hook
For working on fine canvas (8-10 holes per inch) for miniature work.  Needle has a crochet hook on one end and a eye on the other. 2mm x 5" long.
