Sometimes there is some confusion about the difference between rug hooking and latch hooking. Rug hooking uses a continuous piece of yarn to create rugs, creating a tightly woven highly durable finished product that looks a lot like Berber. Latching hook on the other hand creates rugs from pre-cut strips of yarn and uses a latch hook tool. Both are popular and produce a nice finished product.
