Tufting

Tufting is a carpet (or textile) making technique that uses a special gun. This gun shoots loops of yarn/ wool through the mesh fabric, allowing to create textures, patterns, pieces of carpet.

At the moment we have the colors pink, red, black, orange. Our tufting gun is a KRD 1 cut and loop. You'll find the model and information online, eg here. one example for a tufting shop, where you'll also find material, other guns etc.

If you need some first glimpse into the technique, online you will find a lot of information and tutorials, eg here is a short and simple one on youtube with the title "How to tuft: For Beginners". As youtube is blocked on this wiki, you have to type in the last letters into the youtube-search field: kMJ6SgcWkxc
