Not your Grandmother's hooked rug...

Kush breathes new life into an American classic craft, hooked rugs. In early American culture hooked rugs were ahead of their time in that they were a recycled craft born out of need and tranformed into art. Enterprising homemakers utilized empty grain sacks made of burlap as a backing and any spare scrap of cloth to hook in a design thereby making rugs to keep feet warm during the cold New England winters. Antique hooked rugs have become a collectable piece of Americana. Inspired by the old, but with an eye towards fresh color and design Kush presents our American Classics Collection.
