Hand Hooked Rugs by Plum Purdy Primitives  Primitive Hooked Rugs and Original Rug Hooking Patterns

Primitive Style Hand Hooked Rugs

     Rug Hooking was a popular early pastime and old rugs are found showing varying degrees of skill--both in design and execution. My designs reflect my years as an artist --I tend to avoid the naive ---I usually have more detail.  Traditionally, the early rug makers designed and hooked to the best of their ability and if they could have drawn better, I think they would have!  I also lean toward muted colors to give a sense of age to my pieces--but not to the extent that my rugs look neglected and dirty. I prefer to think that if they were handed down through the generations that they were well cared for and cherished--not surviving as grungy worn scraps of wool.

These are my own original designs which have been hand hooked by me using my hand dyed, hand cut wool.  If one that you like is shown as sold, please contact me and I will be happy to hook another using similar  (or your choice of ) colors. Thank you for looking and I welcome your comments.
