The intricate patterning and rich hues of tribal rugs from Turkey, the Caucasus, and Iran have attracted collectors for decades.

Designs can be worked on fine, medium or heavy canvas. The patterns have been gleaned from museum collections, and their origins have been carefully researched and documented.
Describes the stitchery techniques of needlepoint and provides patterns and detailed step-by-step instructions for creating needlepoint versions of the geometric designs of Oriental rugs
Their historic background, romance of stitchery, and method of making.
"This book is intended to help you examine the rugmaking styles and methods of some other cultures and apply them to the most contemporary techniques ~ needlepoint, latch hooking, rya, and punch hooking. You will find a wide diversity of period and contemporary designs, ranging from bold geometrics of nomadic mideastern tribes and the graceful court arabesques of Persia to the equally striking rya rugs and hangings of Scandinavia and the bold and imaginative styles of the contemporary art market. You will see many photographs of historic and antique rugs and carpets, and find pages of design adaptations ready for you to work. You will learn how rugs and hangings were made in their own cultures, and by what contemporary technique they can most faithfully be translated. Because loom weaving is a complicated and technical craft requiring its own set of design blueprints, the rugmaking methods in this book are arbitrarily limited to needlepoint, latch hooking, rya, and punch hooking. The design adaptations throughout will suggest typical or characteristic color schemes and rugmaking methods most closely related to the original product."--Amazon.
