There are photos of completed hooked rugs in our Photo Gallery. We have examples of the different rughooking techniques: primitive; hybrid; and traditional.

We also provide a section with free Rughooking Tips and FAQ s.  These are based on questions we have received. For instance, there are tips on calculating areas and thus the amount of rughooking fabric needed to complete the rug.  NEW!  We are offering questions to frequently asked questions (FAQs).  The FAQs page is a living document with questions and answers added as we receive them.  So please feel free to ask your questions!

Please see our Shipping page for information on our shipping charges.

You may wish to visit our On-Line Rug Hooking Catalog to peruse our selection of patterns, kits, wool and hand-crafted rughooking hooks. Following is a brief description of each category in our catalog (to go to any of these categories, please click the link on the upper left):

Traditonal Hooking Categories:

• In the Rug Hooking Patterns category, we offer both original and vintage pre-stamped rughooking patterns. The patterns are meant for traditional and hybrid hooking although they can easily be hooked using primitive rug hooking techniques. Designs include florals, geometrics and other miscellaneous topics, such as pictorials and animals (when available). In addition, we try to keep at least one Pearl McGown pattern available at all times.

Early American Rug Hooking offers reproductions of E.S. Frost patterns through a license with the Maine State Museum. These are listed in a subcategory of their own - E.S. Frost Patterns.

In addition, Early American Rug Hooking has been selected by the Maine State Museum to reproduce color replicas of the same Frost patterns. The hand-painted reproductions are available through the Maine State Museum's shop. Quantities are limited, so if interested, please contact the museum for additional information.

• The kits in our Rug Hooking Kits category are for traditional and hybrid hookers. Each kit is hand-made and unique - we only offer one of each kit. Of course, we would be pleased to make a kit for any pattern we sell. Please contact us for additional information.

• In the traditional category Rug Hooking Wool there are three subcategories: hand-dyed wool; TOD® samples; and other. In Hand-Dyed Wool, we have included a new batch of wool dyed in an our own way (transitional dyed). We use Lydia Hick’s Triple Over Dye (TOD® ) colors in many of our projects. We have found that having samples of the colors is an invaluable tool when color planning. As such, this subcategory lists groups of samples of the different TOD® recipes. In the Other subcategory, we offer wool for our various patterns and, when available, "as is" rughooking wool.

Primitive Hooking Categories:

• The kits in our Rug Hooking Kits category are for primitive- and hybrid-style hooking. Each kit is hand-made and many are made for the beginner hooker.  We are always happy to help make a kit for your personal interests.  Please contact us for additional information.

• Primitive Rug Hooking Wool consists of colors often found in a primitive-style rug.  These are usually in larger quantites than the traditional swatches. If there are particular colors and/or quantites you need, please feel free to contact us.  We are always happy to help.

In addition to wool fabric, we are going to start carrying whipping yarn dyed to background colors.  Both the woolen and yarn will be available so you will know that they will look beautiful in your project.

Other Categories:

• We offer gift vouchers in various values. Purchase any gift voucher and send it to your rug hooking pal as a present. Details are available in the Gift Voucher FAQ page.

• Completed Items only include those rug hooking projects designed and/or hooked by Early American Rug Hooking. Again, the emphasis is on traditional and hybrid projects but there may be primitive hooked projects added as time permits. It should be noted that Early American Rug Hooking does not only make hooked wool rugs but some unique, useable items, as well.

• We offer a Bargain Basement. Here we have placed rughooking supplies that we got for a bargain and are passing the bargain on to our customers. Rug hooking bargains are getting harder to find, so this page may be empty from time to time. We also place items that don't fall into any other current category here.

Within the Bargain Basement category is the subcategory Clearance. The clearance items are those that we wish to sell quickly, so have slashed the prices.

A note for our international customers: we currently provide shipping rates for the U.S. only. International customers may contact us for shipping rates. As a reminder to all of our customers, Early American Rug Hooking accepts credit card payments through PayPal. The payment option is selected during the checkout process.
