'Since she was a teenager with nothing to
do .over the tong winter months, Mrs:
Harvey. Dolmage of 32 Main St. N. has„.
been hooking rugs.
In those days there were, always —wool-
ens” which couldbe cut into the thin strips
that are necessary for her craft. Now Mrs.
Dolmage uses strips of her grandchildren's
old Sweaters and leotards to hook through
fibres in the burlap, making little loops on.

A cut up potato sack or purchased piece.
of burlap with a design already stamped on
itis secured in a frame to form the backing
for the rug.
Mrs. Dolmage's grandfather made a
hook for her out of a fork ,with a wh. ittted:
handle but hooks can be purchased 'tn craft
shops,
The fabric consists of any wool rags or
worn clothing that the art -1St wants used up, -
1f the rightcolours are not available the
material can be dyed but Mrs. Dolmage
creates an interesting .effect by simply
using different shades of the sante eolour
without dyeing.
The finished products make durable and
colourful • scatter rugs, and are also
effective as :wall hangings., Six of . Mrs.
Dolmage's rugs were given to, her grand-
children as Christmas gifts.
It.. takes Mrs. Dolmage two 4sin'ters:to

uses burlap patterns she has saved op over
the years.She says they are hard to find
now, although patterns may be available in
the Zurich .area, Mrs. Dolmage mentioned
that the hooking kits with yarn in pre-cut
lengths that can'be purchasediin platiycraft
