How to Make Rugs by Candace Wheeler is a practical handbook by one of the founders of the American decorative arts movement and a notable textile designer. Wheeler explains the materials and methods of making rugs at home, from rag and braided rugs to more ambitious woven and needlework pieces, with attention throughout to color and design.
Beyond technique, she champions home rug making as a worthy domestic art and even a source of livelihood. The book reflects her lifelong effort to raise the standing of American craft and design. This free EPUB download is cleanly formatted for any e-reader.
