A reprinted extract from Helen R. Albee's book Abnakee Rugs, describing how she founded a hooked-rug cottage industry among farm women in Pequaket, New Hampshire. She covers her motives, the search for suitable wool flannel, her dyeing experiments, the village-hall exhibition that won local support, and how she paid workers and priced rugs. She also explains the Abnakee name and label, and offers advice to others wanting to start rural handicraft industries. The last page shows a hooked rug with a ship design made by a club member.
