Rug making methods

Once the work has been started the somewhat mechanical action of the technique, particularly in the pile rugs, is immensely soothing, and as the pattern grows the interest becomes greater as each row is completed.

It is not fortuitous that it is one of the great stand-bys of the occupational therapists in their work of rehabilitation.

Many personal experiences have proved the value of rug making from the "escapist" point of view. It employs the hands in a rhythmical, easy way, and also the head to whatever extent is desired, the latter depending upon the complexity or simplicity of the design and colouring used.
