PUNCH NEEDLE RUG—By this method, the yarn is threaded in a special hooking needle. The needle is then punched through the rug foundation from the wrong side in accordance with the color pattern indicated by the stamped design.
HOOKED RUG—With another method of hooking, the yarn is held underneath the frame with one hand and pulled up to the desired height (usually about ½ inch) with a hook held in the other hand.
