History of Needlepoint Rugs

The history of needlepoint starts thousands of years ago with the ancient Egyptians who used small diagonal stitches to sew together canvas for their tents. This diagonal needlepoint stitch is still called the “tent stitch” and is one of the most popular needlepoint stitches used to make needlepoint rugs.

Howard Carter, the British Egyptologist who discovered the tomb of Tutankhamen, found needlepoint in the cave of a Pharaoh who lived around 1500 BCE.

Fast forward 3,300 years to early 19th century England and America and needlepoint has become a fashionable pastime of affluent women. What made needlepoint such a popular hobby was the availability of beautiful needlepoint patterns published in Berlin, Germany and exported to England and America. These Berlin patterns came with dyed wool yarns and stitch by stitch instructions laid out on graph paper. Even a novice could stitch stunning three-dimensional needlepoint patterns. Another reason for the popularity was that more women had more leisure time than at any time before in history.
