FAQs

Yes, this acrylic tufting yarn works smoothly with most standard cut pile and loop pile tufting guns. The consistent thickness helps prevent jamming and ensures even stitching, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced rug makers.

Acrylic tufting yarn is more affordable, easier to maintain, and does not shrink or felt like wool. It also keeps its color well over time. Wool is natural and slightly more elastic, but it is more expensive and requires more delicate care. Acrylic is a practical and budget-friendly alternative for most rug projects.

The amount depends on the rug size, pile height, and density. As a general guide, a 100 × 100 cm (40 × 40 in) rug usually requires around 2.5–3.5 kg of yarn. For larger or denser rugs, more yarn will be needed. We recommend calculating slightly extra to ensure color consistency.
