The RHGNL Teacher's Group wishes to acknowledge that in NL there is a unique style of rug hooking and wishes to maintain those high standards. Rug or mat hooking is a time-honoured tradition evolving from the days when winter was long and confining, resources were few, and nothing went to waste. The original method of hooking still prevails. A simple metal hook with a wooden handle, a piece of burlap, en embroidery hoop, strips of fabric or even yarn, and you are ready to start your first piece of hooking.
