The amount of yarn you need depends on three main factors: rug size, pile height, and tufting density.

As a general guideline, we recommend approximately 2.5 kg of wool yarn per square meter for a standard tufted rug. A higher pile or denser tufting may require more yarn, while a shorter pile or lighter density may use less.

Both wool and acrylic are popular choices for tufting, but they have different advantages.

Wool yarn is naturally strong, resilient, and long-lasting. It maintains its shape well and is our preferred choice for high-quality floor rugs. Although wool is generally more expensive, its durability makes it a worthwhile investment.

Acrylic yarn is more budget-friendly, lightweight, and available in vibrant colors. It's particularly suitable for wall art, decorative pieces, and beginners experimenting with tufting.

If you're making a rug for everyday use, we recommend wool. For decorative projects or experimenting with designs, acrylic is an excellent option.

The best yarn for tufting depends on what you're making. For floor rugs, we recommend 100% wool yarn. Wool is naturally durable, resilient, and well suited for rugs that receive regular foot traffic.

For wall hangings and decorative rugs, acrylic yarn is a great alternative. It's affordable, available in a wide range of colors, and ideal for creative projects that don't need to withstand heavy wear.

Both wool and acrylic yarn work with most tufting guns, so you can choose the material that best suits your project.
