Kokoelma: Tuftauslanka (Wools of New Zealand)

Tips & Advice for Working with NZ Wool in Tufting

Benefits of New Zealand Wool

• Elasticity: Bounces back after compression, ideal for heavy foot traffic.
• Natural Crimp: Provides loft and fullness even at lower pile heights.
• Excellent Dyeability: Holds rich color saturation across skeins.
• Resilient & Breathable: Woll resists dust and retains warmth naturally.

Tufting with NZ Wool

• Use a matching needle size — larger yarn may require larger gauge needles.
• Test tension and pull-through—New Zealand wool has slight give compared to synthetic yarns.
• Cut in small sections to avoid long floats, especially across curves or tight corners.

Finishing & Care Tips

• Apply rug adhesive evenly and allow full curing before trimming.
• Spot-clean using a wool-safe detergent; avoid high heat or aggressive agitation.
• Vacuum with brushless suction tools to protect pile structure.
