Are you looking for a way to jazz up your rug hooking? This book will introduce you to a whole new world of fancy fibers to use in your hooked rugs!

how to add embellishments, such as beads, buckles, sequins, zippers, shells, semi-precious stones, and more

how to combine rug-making techniques, such as sculpting, prodding, braiding, punch needle, quilling, shirring, and more

where to look for rug hooking inspiration

Unusual materials, unexpected shapes, and surprising tricks can make a hooked piece a piece of art suitable for display on your wall or the wall of a gallery. Lavishly illustrated with Dufresne's own rugs and the works of other contemporary artists, this book will inspire you to look beyond your wool stash.
