About this yarn

Developed to capture the soft, matte feel of popular acrylic knitting yarns used by tufters, with a firm, stable structure for fiber art.

When tufted correctly, it holds its shape underfoot while staying soft to the touch and easy to carve. Use it for tufting, punch needle, crochet, knitting, weaving and fiber art.

PLAN YOUR NEXT RUG

How much yarn will you need?

Start with the area you’ll tuft. These estimates use an AK-V at its standard pile height of about 14 mm.

Cut pile 2 strands

About 20 g per 10 × 10 cm

One 250 g cone covers about 0.125 m².

Loop pile 1 strand

About 25 g per 10 × 10 cm

One 250 g cone covers about 0.1 m².

These amounts already allow for the strand count. Your tufting density, pile height and technique will affect how much you use.

A LITTLE MORE DETAIL

Good to know
before you start.

How many strands do I tuft with?

Use two strands for cut pile at the reference 14 mm pile height. Wind half a cone into a cake and feed one cone plus one cake. The loop-pile usage guide is based on one strand. Feeds from recycled plastic or paper cones.

Why choose rug yarn?

It combines a soft, matte feel with the firm, stable structure of a rug yarn. When tufted correctly, it holds its shape underfoot and is easy to carve.

How can I compare the colors?

Use the color images above and the acrylic swatch guide. Screens and lighting can change the way colors appear.
