Folk and Fiber from Amherst Folk Art & Rug Hooking offers original Primitive Hooked Rugs, Miniature Needle Punch  Embroidery, Wool Needle Felting, Hand-painted Folk Art,  & some great littlewares (accessories) to compliment your country home.  There is something here for everyone who loves country and primitive decorating. My rug hooking and needle punch embroidery designs reflect my preference for primitive and Early American colors & design -- I think you'll find them pleasing, as well.

I carry a nice complement of supplies and kits for rug hooking and needle punch embroidery. I am also happy to be able to offer artists and small businesses my web design services and help with your instruction writing.

I strive to provide you a good value and outstanding service. I have been in business since 1984, specializing in antique primitives & period folk art. There are many spaces to explore here, so have fun looking around. I hope you will come back often to see the ever-changing offerings.
