Thomas Mosseller, the eldest
son, whose craft is an avocation,
rather than a profession, clainf!%
that he was born with a hool<%^
rug needle in his hand. He grew
up in the period when hooked
rugs were making history in the
trade. His mother, Lillian Mills
Mosseller, was one of the pioneers
in the hooked rug business and
was responsible for many “firsts”
in the evolution of floor covering
designs and textures in that dram
atic period between 1933 and 1945
when over 20,000,000 square feet
of hooked rugs were sold in this
country.
The story of Thomas Mosseller’s
Petiloop needle, which he devised
in collaboration with his mother,
is to appear in the June 1952 issue
of Woman’s Day Magazine, accord- .
ing to advice received from Roxa
Wright, needlework editor of Wo
man’s Day. The article will also
