Burlap for Rug Hooking

Burlap has been a staple backing fabric for rug hooking since the Colonial days. Burlap backing offers customers the both of best worlds, being both durable and relatively inexpensive. The natural hole spacing inherent to burlap makes it the easiest fabric to hook with and therefore the most ideal backing for beginners to learn with. Burlap backing is heavy enough to hold wool and threads of all types, and will resist curling, provided that your hooking is spaced properly. The burlap fabric backing is solid enough that it will allow one to easily cut it down to size once the rug is completed. Burlap always adds a quaint, rustic atmosphere to any home or event. Burlap backing for rug hooking takes an already homemade piece of art and adds that classic, rugged, feel to it while retaining the rug’s authentic style. We offer various lengths of burlap rolls, to accommodate your needs and budget.
