Glossary of Rug Terms (M)

Micro Point

A type of hooked rug in loop construction, made with very tiny loops (1/8 inch high). The smaller the loop, the greater the amount of detail in a rug's design will increase, thus one can achieve a much more intricate design by using the micro point hook than by using a petit point hook or gross point hook.
