Using a frame stand allows more maneuverability.
The goal of the frame is to keep the base fabric taut and the grain lines straight while hooking the rug.
Rug hooking should be done in a frame which should not be too large if the work needs to rest in the lap with one hand and the hook on top and the other hand and wool strip on the bottom.
Rug hooking flourished into an art form with many intricate motifs being created with artistic flair.
Rug hooking today typically uses strips of wool of varying width 1 32 to 1 2 of an inch that are pulled through a stiff woven backing burlap linen or rug warp with a tool rug hook to form loops.
