Camp Collection/Grosse Point

 Camp Collection.  Cotton hooked rugs.  We have strived to be faithful to the original designs, construction and materials found in the original American hooked rugs. Traditional Hooked rugs are truly an art form. They are made by taking old fabrics and cutting them into narrow strips. Burlap(often recycled food sacks) was used as the foundation. A needle with a hook on it pushed through from the top of the rug, and the fabric was then drawn to the surface. Thus hooked rugs are often called "drawn-in-rugs". The rugs in our Camp Collection are made exactly the same way, one loop at a time. In our attempt to be "green", we use environmentally correct recycled fabrics, where ever possible.

You will also see the unlevel hand dyed nature of the fabric, thus giving these rugs an added dimension.

Grosse Point Rugs.  Grosse Point rugs are needlepoint/cross stitch rugs made with wool carpet yarns.  Our standard needlepoint pillows have about 100 stitches per square inch.  These rugs have about 40 stitches per square inch, but use a heavier yarn.
