All Things EFFY was established in 2018 in New Zealand by founder Carolyn — a Canadian-born maker with a background in Engineering Physics, Mechatronics Engineering, and a Master’s degree in Physics. What began as a small punch needle supply shop quickly evolved as she discovered rug tufting: a craft that blends creativity with machinery, precision, and hands-on problem-solving.
In 2020, EFFY expanded into rug tufting supplies after recognising how difficult it was for makers worldwide to access reliable tools and clear information. As the tufting community grew, the brand naturally shifted toward specialising entirely in rug tufting. While the New Zealand shop still offers select punch needle supplies, rug tufting is now the core focus of All Things EFFY.
In 2023, Canada became EFFY’s second shop after New Zealand — a natural step given Carolyn’s Canadian roots and the growing number of Canadian tufters seeking reliable domestic supplies. The Canadian store serves makers nationwide, offering fast shipping from within Canada and access to tools, yarns, and materials selected through real, hands-on experience.
All Things EFFY is founder-led, with every product choice and process shaped by real tufting experience and technical understanding. Carolyn’s engineering and physics background allows her to evaluate tufting machines, materials, and tools with precision — ensuring makers receive products that perform reliably and safely.
