TUFTING – MAKE YOUR OWN RUG

Come and make your own tufted rug or wallpiece!

Tufting is an old craft that most people may recognize from rya rugs. Tufting involves first drawing your design on stretched hessian fabric on a frame. Then, you tuft the design with yarn and a danella needle, which creates loops on the other side of the hessian, forming your tufted wall peice. No prior experience is required to tuft.

Our teacher
The teacher, Cathrine Svarre, loves the creative process of tufting, and especially the calm and focus that tufting can bring. Cathrine has the Instagram profile @t_u_f_t_e_d_l_o_v_e, where you can find inspiration and tufting tips.

BRING

You need to bring your own yarn in the colours you like. We have some extra yarn avaliable on the day, if you are missing a colour. All types af yarn can be used, however it is important that the yarn isn’t thicker than knitting needle size 4.

To optimize your time on the workshop, it is a good idea if you prior to the workshop, have thought about your motif. It is good with a simple motif, without too many small details, when tufting.
Bring a sketch or a print of what you would like to make with a max a size of 20 cm. in diameter.
