Rug Hooking and Home Life in Chéticamp, Nova Scotia - Canada HD Travel Channel
Chéticamp is an Arcadian fishing village at the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton Highlands, Canada. A visit to the Museum of the Hooked Rug and Home Life in the building Les Trois Pignons should not be missed.
The museum is dedicated to two women from Chéticamp: Marguerite Gallant and Elizabeth LeFort. Marguerite Gallant (1890-1983) had a profound love of collecting and so we can admire many everyday objects from the former life of the Arcadians in the museum today.
Chéticamp gained worldwide fame through Rug Hooking. The residents developed the Scandinavian technique of Rug Hooking to perfection. Burlap is stretched in a wooden frame. Thereafter colored yarn is hooked through the large pores of the burlap until they form a desired pattern. A simple nail with a curved tip attached to a wooden handle is used as hook. After the removal of the frame the burlap tightens and gives the yarn a firm stability.
Elizabeth LeFort (1914-2005) was an expert in Rug Hooking and got famous when she began hooking portraits of celebrities. Her works can be seen in the White House, in the Vatican or in the Buckingham Palace today. A number of their rugs are exhibited in the Dr. Elizabeth LeFort Gallery, here at the museum.
In the video you can see some of the work of Elizabeth LeFort, such as the rug Crucifixion, with 510 colors and a size of 3,0m x 1,7 m / 55 square foot
Back in 1959 she created the rug United States Presidential History in just 6 months. It shows the 34 presidents and two seals and was made by hooking 1,700,000 loops out of 7 miles of yarn in 390 colors.

Chéticamp ist ein kleiner arkadischer Fischerort am Cabot Trail in den Cape Breton Highlands, Kanada. Einen Besuch im Museum of the Hooked Rug and Home Life, im Gebäude „Les Trois Pignons sollte man sich nicht entgehen lassen.
Das Museum ist im Wesentlichen zwei Frauen aus Chéticamp gewidmet: Marguerite Gallant und Elisabeth LeFort. Marguerite Gallant (1890-1983) war eine leidenschaftliche Sammlerin und so kann man heute im Museum viele Alltagsgegenstände aus dem damaligen Leben der Arkadier bewundern.
Weltweiten Ruhm erlangte Chéticamp durch das sogenannte Rug Hooking (Herstellung von Wollteppichen auf Sackleinen). Die Bewohnerinnen die skandinavische Technik des Rug Hookings zur Perfektion weiterentwickelt. Eingespannt in einen festen Holzrahmen wird ein Leinenstoff gedehnt. Danach werden farbige Wollfäden mit einem einfachen gebogenen Nagel an einem Holzgriff durch die großen Poren des Gewebes gezogen, bis sie ein gewünschtes Muster ergeben. Nach Entfernung des Rahmens zieht sich das Leinen wieder zusammen und gibt den Fäden einen festen Halt.
Elizabeth LeFort (1914-2005) beherrscht diese Technik besonders meisterhaft und wurde selbst berühmt, als sie begann Portraits von Prominenten auf Wandteppichen dieser Art abzubilden. Heute sind ihre Werke im Weißen Haus, im Vatikan oder im Buckingham Palast zu sehen. Eine Reihe ihrer Teppiche sind hier im Museum, in der der Dr. Elisabeth LeFort Galerie, ausgestellt.
Im Video sehen sie einige Arbeiten von Elisabeth LeFort, wie z.B. der 3,0m x 1,7m großen Wandteppich Crucifixion -- die Kreuzigung aus Fäden in 510 Farben
Bereits 1959 schuf sie in nur 6 Monaten den Wandteppich United States Presidential History . Er zeigt die 34 Präsidenten und zwei Siegel und besteht aus 1,700,000 Schlingen aus 11,2 km Faden in 390 Farben.
