A hooked rug is a type of rug made by pulling loops of yarn or fabric through a base material, such as burlap or linen, using a hook. The loops are then cut or left as they are to create a textured surface. Hooked rugs are known for their intricate designs and are often handmade, featuring patterns like flowers, animals, or geometric shapes. They are durable, with a soft feel, and are commonly used as decorative pieces in homes, adding warmth and color to spaces like living rooms, bedrooms, or entryways.
