How We Work
GOOD QUESTION! Is it related to a tuft of grass? You're not wrong. Tuft (according to the dictionary) refers to a number of short pieces of something, such as grass, hair etc. that grow closely together or held together at the base. Tufting hence is a type of textile weaving in which thread/yarn is inserted into its primary base.
We'll take you on a journey to revisit this traditional craft form now coupled with modern technology to make the process faster with something we call a 'Tufting Gun'.
Thorough instruction will be given covering the basics of how to use a tufting machine, and how to glue and finish the tufted piece.
