For Rug Making
Start by winding the yarn to ensure it flows smoothly. Thread the center-pull strand into the tufting gun, and work with two (or more) strands at once to increase thickness and durability. This method allows you to create a stronger, denser texture, even from thinner yarns, which is ideal for rugs.
Advantages:
- Thicker texture: Using two strands together helps achieve a suitable thickness and density for rugs, even with thinner yarn.
- Unique color combinations: Using two different colors can create beautiful gradients and textures in the finished piece.
Key considerations:
- Yarn usage: Using two strands at once will consume yarn faster, so make sure you have enough stock.
- Yarn handling: Ensure the two (or more) strands run smoothly through the tufting gun without tangling or getting stuck.
