===Prodded=== Proddy rugs are made, as the name implies, by prodding or poking strips of fabric through hessian or linen from the back side. Rag rugs made this way have many names, such as clippies, stobbies, clippers and peggies.<ref>{{cite book|last=Barile|first=Mary Collins|title=Hooked Rugs of the Midwest: A Handcrafted History|date=28 May 2013|publisher=Arcadia Publishing Incorporated|isbn=978-1-61423-948-2}}</ref> In [[Northumberland]] they are called proggy mats, and in [[Scotland]] they are called [[Wikt:clootie|clootie]] mats. They were often made for more utilitarian use such as by the back door, their pile hiding dirt well. The [[Museum of English Rural Life]] has a collection of rug-making tools and thrift rugs.<ref name = "hemeon"/>
