Hooked Rug - Vintage Style - Olde Cat and Dog

Description

This is my rendition of an actual antique rug of a kitten and dog. The finished rug measures 16 x 25 inches and is hooked with 100% wool on primitive linen. The colors of wool were intentionally selected to make the rug look old and vintage in appearance. The dog's body is two wools, similar in color and selected to achieve the look of an antique rug in the manner rugs were hooked in the past, by using whatever wool was available in similar colors. The rug is actually a little more muted than the colors appear in the photos, due to camera flash. I am proud to say I achieved a good vintage appearance in this rug. It is almost cuddly because it's so sweet when you see it in person. It is a real heirloom treasure and a little hard for me to part with, but I'll hook this pattern again someday since it was so fun to make!

If you like this rug, and are a hooker, I can make the pattern up for you too. Just convo me for pricing and listing on either monks cloth or primitive linen.
