Welcome!  And thanks for visiting our web site and if you are in the Massachusetts area please come by and visit our retail store in Hanover, which is approximately 20 miles South of Boston.  American Folk Art & Craft Supply is dedicated to maintaining our homes’ traditions in wool rug braiding, rug hooking, penny rug making and quilting by providing crafters with supplies, tools and instruction for their ageless art.

Rug braiding and hooking dates back hundreds of years.   Originally hand made rugs served a functional purpose to warm cold floors.  In the early days, settlers would tear or cut their worn woolen clothing into strips or pieces.  The pieces were then crafted into beautifully functional rugs for their homes.

These beautifully crafted and colorful rugs soon became admired for their pleasing appeal and charm they add to any room.  Today, hand crafted wool rugs come in oval, round, square and rectangle shapes and cover floors and decorate homes in traditional and modern themes.

American Folk Art & Craft Supply has a large variety of wool by the yard for rug crafters and is happy to provide crafters with wool sample swatches.  Please specify flannel weight or coat weight wool with your request, each set of samples is $5.  Flannel weight wool is great for rug hooking, penny rug making, quilting and sewing.  Coat weight wool is used for rug braiding, penny rug making and sewing.
 
American Folk Art & Craft Supply also has a wide selection of hand dyed flannel weight wool in a variety of colors.  Hand dyed wool is mottled and uneven by design giving crafters depth and movement in their pieces.

 
In addition, American Folk Art & Craft Supply stocks all the tools you need to complete braided and hooked rug.  This includes: braiding stands, braid aides, braiding needles, heavy cotton thread, hooking frames, hooks patterns and wool strip cutters.


For quilters, American Folk Art & Craft Supply carries a complete line of cotton fabric and supplies.  Handmade quilts have moved from beyond a well-made bed and are now used as pieces of art in homes.  You can find beautifully pieced and appliqued quilts decorating walls, couches and chairs making homes warm and inviting.  American Folk Art & Craft Supply offers quilters designer cottons made by RJR, Kaffe Facet, Carla Miller, Moda, Andover Fabrics, and more.  The complete line of Thimbleberries cotton, patterns and quilting kits available. American Folk Art & Craft Supply also offer the Thimbleberries Quilt Club. 

 In addition to providing crafters with high quality fabrics and supplies American Folk Art & Craft Supply also offers crafters a place to learn and practice their craft.   Instructors visually present each step of crafting while giving instructions from beginning to end.
