Opis

The recycling of stockings dyed in soft hues is just one of various innovations that made Grenfell hooked mats collectible folk art. This book chronicles the development of a local craft into an art form. It draws on interviews with women who recall their hooking days, the study of hundreds of documents, and examination of Grenfell hooked mats.
